I stay away from these games. Those kids are way more hardcore than I will ever be.

@mau64 Normally, I'd agree. A game's age is inversely proportional to the percentage of casual players. Put another way: A newcomer to an older retail game (for example, Counter-Strike 1.6) probably isn't going to have much fun because he or she will probably get steamrolled by expert players.

But with Quake Live being free to play and with Skill Matching, the game is actually fun to play even for someone (like myself) who hadn't played Quake 3 in years.

I don't expect to end the round at the top of the scoreboard, but I don't expect to get obliterated or land a the bottom, either. Since it's free and (last I checked) adware-free, the only thing you stand to lose by trying the game is time and bandwidth.
