Quake Live


Quake is a classic first person shooter game which is completely free on the net.

Before playing, you are put through a skill assessment and training session, so you can be matched up with opponents of a similar level.

There is also a training centre where you can learn additional skills such as rocket and strafe jumping to help give you the edge over opponents.

There is a directory of artists so you can read your favourite rock star's biography, album reviews, photographs and discography.

Users in the US can listen to the playlists of the day - but sadly the magazine's music licence does not extend beyond US borders.
