Meta Fictitious

Activision sullies a legitimatized franchise (via IW) with sub par development (via Treyarch) for what? Offering creative variety to the gaming community? Nope. They do it for profit.

Activision is a shameful organization, and even if West and Zampella did indeed act underhandedly during their employment there, I'll side with those guys any day over the greedy corporative giant.

Playing Quake Arena on a console is a novelty experience and a new challenge after playing the PC version for so long. And as many have already pointed out, it's a good way to expose a new demographic to the world of Quake (in which some have never even HEARD of the franchise): the perpetual console gamer. Yes, $15 is steep in relation to Quake itself, but it's right on target for XBLA as it is a premier, well developed game. It won't be hard to scrounge for that few extra dollars.

So Happy Fragging and Happy Holidays people!
