Homefront vs Quake Live
Homefront
Homefront lets you join the Resistance that's fighting against the bitter, ruthless and overwhelming armies of the Greater Korea Republic for the freedom of an occupied USA using guerrilla tactics. Experience an explosive first-person shooter gameplay as well as immersive vehicular combat in addition to experiencing the compelling story of the devastating cost of war penned by renowned author John Milius through interactive cut scenes. The graphics in the Homefront is also very well-done, presenting a bleak-looking landscape of abandoned and ruined structures, shopping malls-turned-detention centers, and walled towns filled with zombie-like people who just shamble around while the invaders stood guard with their rifles at the ready. Interestingly, Homefront even provides players with a large-scaled multiplayer mode where armies of different sides clash in an epic combat, though there aren't enough players around to get a match going.So, although the multiplayer aspect of the game is literally dead, the gameplay might be a tad bit too linear (invisible walls and the like) and that there are some glitches and bugs, Homefront still has an amazing campaign that will see you fighting for the independence of the USA against its Greater Korea Republic oppressors. It is worth the purchase, especially if you can get it at a discount.
Quake Live
Quake Live is an epic installment of the timeless classic, Quake. Returning for an encore, Quake Live aims to cater to the fans of the fast-paced arcade shooter genre by allowing them to play against other players from all over the world in any one of the game's 100 plus arenas and dozens of game modes. Not to mention, the game is often updated with new arenas from the company behind this revival of Quake as well as from its vibrant community.Quake was once the most competitive shooters in its day and it now aims to retain its title, at least in the arcade-like shooter genre, with this iteration... and we've got to say, it is doing a really great job. The game has already dive into the eSports scene with its own tournaments and it is doing really good. If you long for the good old days for frag or be fragged, this is a game you'll want to play - in addition to Quake Champions that is.
The unfortunate thing about this game is that it was previously free-to-play but now it's not. Considering that Quake Champions is already buy-to-play, it might be good to have a free-to-play version to help convert truly interested players from playing the free version to getting the paid version. It'll just allow the franchise to tap into a whole new pool of potential buyers and players after all.
