Quake Live vs Rise Up
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.
Rise Up
Rise Up is almost as frustratingly fun as the infamous Flappy Bird game, despite having a lot simpler controls. In this game, you need to protect the ascension of a probably helium-filled balloon by moving the circular shield in front of it with your finger. Push obstacles out of the way or tunnel through them, as you help clear the path for the ballon to keep rising. This game is endless though, so if you're good, you can rack up some pretty insane high scores, giving you the score advantage when it comes to dominating the leaderboard.Available on Android and iOS, Rise Up is a simple endless flying game that shot to fame due to its incredibly easy, and yet frustrating (if you're aiming for a respectable high score), gameplay. It's the perfect game to play if you enjoy a good challenge.
