Point Blank: Strike vs Quake Live
Point Blank: Strike
Point Blank: Strike is the mobile version of Nexon's popular PC-based MMOFPS game, Point Blank. Similar to its PC counterpart, the game looks just like the original, with tons of classic Point Blank maps (Bunker, Burning Hall and Crackdown), weapons, avatars, and game modes (Team Deathmatch, Demolition, Emblem Match, AI Battle, etc) painstakingly recreated on the mobile platform, offering players a much better FPS experience.The controls, however, will have to be changed due to the lack of a keyboard and mouse, but the changes made are pretty okay so far, allowing players to enjoy intense and thrilling FPS action without too huge of a shift from other FPS apps in either GooglePlay or the AppStore... though there are still some bits that could be improved on.
Point Blank: Strike aims to bring Point Blank to the mobile platform and I've got to say, Nexon did a pretty swell job. As mentioned, there are still some bugs to knock out, but generally, playing Point Blank: Strike feels so much like you're playing Point Blank on mobile and that's all the matters!
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.
