Quake Live
http://www.quakelive.com/
Quake Live
Quake live is the designed to run on computers running Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, the game is downloaded and launched via a web browser plugin. Quake live is a variation on Quake 3 deathmatch, Quake live is all about multiplayer there are no campaigns in quake live unlike 1, 2 & 4. a internet connection is needed to play.
Quake live is free to play, with over 40 levels and 5 game modes, for anyone who likes quake its pretty awesome, there is only a small download the game is hosted on quake live servers and not much space is required on a computer to run the game.
Quake live shows the future and advancements of web appliactaions and games on the internet, and shows how 3d applications can be used within the internet browser like the last website i reviewed.
Another games like quake live is battlefield heros built up a good repuation but when it came to beta testing it got a lot of neagtive reviews. I have played quake live and found it pretty fun and is exactly what i expect from a quake deathmatch.

Design interviews read & comment
Two articles read & comment.
Joel Schafer: 'I'm into minimalistic clean design'
Dan Saffer: 'Interaction design is an applied art
Joel Schafer
This was the second article i read, i found it too be quite breif and not really go into as much detail as the other one. I didn't really find the article that intresting there were a few key points like what computer language is needed and the useful links at the bottom of the page but other than that it wasn't really that informative.
Dan Saffer
The first article i read was and still better than the second, the answers are much more thougher and go into more detail. The areas which stood out for me were talking about how we as interactive designers will come to use the touch screen and should be well educated with how it works and what can be done with it. I think that as designers we should probably understand and have knowledge of what were designing for until the next new peice of technology comes along and we have to start over again. The other point he raised was mistakes by good designers not coming up with different designs, i think thats a useful bit of information to know.
