Quake Arena Arcade Finally Coming to XBLA on December 15
by Xav de Matos, Dec 10, 2010 6:00pm PSTShacknews has a long, detailed history with the Quake franchise, so the announcement of a multiplayer-only Quake title coming to the XBLA was understandability huge when it happened. Or at least I suspect it was, since the game was first announced for the XBLA back at QuakeCon 2007--before my time here.
Today, Bethesda announced that Quake Arena Arcade will finally arrive on the Xbox Live Arcade platform this coming Wednesday, December 15.
The game recently reappeared after its long hiatus from the Arcade spotlight in early October, when it appeared on the Australian classification ratings board website.
Sadly, the game has yet to be priced; however, we're going to go ahead and assume it's not nearly as cheap as it is to play a version of the game right now, in your browser for free. Or mostly free that is.

When everyone's scattered to all the different games on my friends list, I can sit on my ass, fire up a game of Quake 3, send out an invite, and immediately have major portions of my old clan back together, all with none of us getting up to swap discs.
Instant gratification is worth the price.

Also, who the fuck wants to play a twitch fps like Q3 with a gamepad? I'd rather fuck a horse. I guess I'm just part of that certain generation that will never fully enjoy fps without a mouse. I can bare it , but it's a bitch by comparison.

It is rare that I play games on the PC lately - but even so.. if I were to buy this for the 360 I know I would not enjoy it nearly as much as I did on the PC.
However.. sitting in my couch playing against bots might be fun on some level. The question is if that fun is enough to justify a purchase.
