When an expansion pack for Quake III rolls around with a $30 price tag, you'd hope to find in the box the sort of game-bending work that goes beyond mere mods. Does Quake III Team Arena live up to that expectation? Check out Quake III Team Arena here at Sharky Games.
Setting aside the unwarranted and steep price tag, there is some really good stuff here. The most significant addition is the set of outdoor levels that breaks Quake III out of its corridor sensibility. Wide open areas with natural rolling terrain are nothing new to fans of TRIBES, Delta Force, and Unreal Tournament, but they're a welcome addition to Quake III. It's surprising how cloying the tight rooms and twisting hallways feel after you've played the new maps like Distant Screams and Overdose.

Developed exclusively for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system by Polyphony Digital Inc., Gran Turismo 3 A-spec harnesses the technological power of PlayStation 2 bringing the team's creative vision to life through outstanding graphics and special effects, and creating the most technologically advanced racing experience ever.
In Gran Turismo 3 A-spec, weather conditions, including enhanced fogging effects and rain, have been implemented to improve realism and add challenge to the racing experience. An enhanced Rally Mode adds further variety, allowing players to race through gravel tracks, kicking up dirt to impair their opponent's view. Dirt tracks offer a completely different driving experience with varying topography that changes how well each vehicle's traction handles the gravel tracks. More than 150 authentic vehicles will be available to the player, including a variety of models from Japanese, European and American car manufacturers. Among the choice of vehicles, there will be 30 new car models, plus the return of European "super cars" and American "muscle cars" as seen in Gran Turismo and Gran Turismo 2.
