I've been playing with Q4 for around two months, and haven't had enough time 
to really bang on it, but I like it so far - mind you, still playing with 
the single player mode - with the exception that on occasion [a] it's 
semi-predictable enemy-pattern-of-behavior wise (well, especially if you've 
saved and replayed until getting it right), and [b] it's very dark visually 
at times, almost reminding me of Alien vs. Predator (though that one was too 
predictable, even in first-time running).

Good old Q3A will be on my machine for some time, though.  I also play Star 
Wars Jedi Outcast/Academy/Galaxies (though I spit at the idea of having to 
bleeding pay for it after one has already paid for it, and if there were 
more features in Galaxies that made it worth paying for, well... there 
aren't).
