Ballz vs Quake Live
Ballz
Ballz adds a rather innovative twist to the usual brick-breaking game genre by adding scores to each brick you will try to break. Not to mention, the game also borrows some elements from the bubble shooter/alien invaders genre and made the bricks move slowly but surely towards the bottom of the board. Sounds like an easy game to play? Well, it is intentionally designed to be so, but if you want to get a high score that none of your friends can beat, then you may need to figure out some sort of strategy to maximize your score points, for example, by focusing on creating endless ball chains.Ballz is the sort of simple yet inventive game that just seem to take the world by storm. If you haven't played the game yet, well, don't stay under that rock now... give this free-to-play game a try. You'll defintiely be able to appreciate how addictive such a simple game can be.
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.
