     I saw that review also and was pretty impressed with it. It
complimented the game on its strengths and also mentioned that (as far
as the reviewer was concerned) a few things could also use some
improving. It was a balanced review. This GamerX wrote an alternative
review and ignored a great many things. Since the URL for the GamerX
review is also at Gamercenter I mentioned that it was a Gamercenter
review. It seems that there are two of them. One at Gamercenter/Reviews
and another at Gamecenter/Xperts. Oh well!

     I also have had problems with KALI and Diablo. I have yet to get it
to work to my satisfaction. Thankfully I have never had any problems
getting onto battle.net and using KALI has not become a necessity for
me.

     QUAKE is a great game and a lot of fun when played on a server. But
try getting 4 people together (all with 28.8 modems) and have one person
be the "server" and everyone else connect to his IP. The "server" will
run around and blast the hell out of everyone while the "clients" can
barely move at all. It doesn't work very well.
