Second Update
I've just added some bits to a couple of reviews, namely A2 : Return to Atlantis and Curved Stone. Just some things I meant to put in but forgot =).
I've also added a Top 10 reviews section to the site. If you're new to the site or have not been coming here very long then this will probably interest you. If you're an author you can see where your map is and be all smug if its in there.
First Update
Heres reviews and
The plans for the webboard are coming along nicely. We're running some tests to see how quickly we can break it. I'm unsure as to when it'll go live but I'll keep you posted.
I've also fixed a load of download links in the Quake reviews and archives. Thanks go to Doug Burmeister for pointing out those broken links, didn't know they're were so many!!! Heres list of those I've fixed and not fixed. If anyone knows what the correct links for the unfixed ones are, please do email me.

Heres something I can't believe I've not mentioned yet. Its a guess the map contest called "What's In Johnny's Maps Folder??" There are a hundred different Quake maps from which you have to guess the bsp name. Yours truly isn't doing too badly, I'm 3rd. I'm a bit annoyed since I recognise at least 5 more maps but just can't remember or find their names!
Heres an interesting Quake map you might want to check out. Its been given the short title of ... q1q3test2 - The Not-so-long Yard (quake1 conversion of a q3 map) (402Kb). Kinda sums it up. All the textures have been ported and from the screenshots I've seen of the original it looks pretty faithful.
A new version of HeadHunters for Quake 2 is now out. Its now at v2.60. If thats your bag then go download it!
Looks like something weird has happened at Quakeintosh. The reason I mention it is because I was going get one of Juniors maps but found the site no longer exists. Junior, if you're out there please do tell me and tell me where your site is =).
The Omicron Duel Challenge continues. The top spot has now been taken by Quanchi with a whooping score of 112! Danimal seems to have jumped up the the scoreboard as well, he is currently in third with a score of 92.
Theres an excellent article about the Mac version of the Q3ATest up on Thresh's FiringSquad. Well worth reading. Its only 20 pages long!!!
The Win32 version of Q3ATest *should* (fingers crossed) be out on Sunday night. I've been keeping track of .plan update the id guys have been doing and it looks like the 3D card to have is the RivaTNT. See this .plan update by Brian Hook to get the full picture. 3Dfx have just released some drivers which are compatitable with the Test.
Those Japanese have a wicked sense of humour. I found the correct use for an iMac. I couldn't agree more! Also this is cool looking site, Gameart. Contains loads of computer art.
