: Carmack is the id of id - not like some sort of superid or something
: (wouldn't that be subid? or maybe metaid the way I phraded it), but as in
: the core personality of id Software. He's a god of a programmer and he and
: his company make very nice game engines. They seem to prefer licencing
: their engines out for other people to make actual GAMES out of them

I think that their games are usually great. The only real throw backs in my opinion are the way their weapons are sort of imbalanced, especially once you get one of those cheasy ass weapons like the BFG. That's what I don't like: Usually an unbalanced arsenal. Other than that, I'd say most of their games are fun. Still, of course, Marathon is better by far.
