I picked up Rage in one of the $5 sales ... uh, last year sometime I think... but like many such games, I hadn't played it, until today. So yeah, I'm two hours in now, and the game seems good. It's a pretty straightforward game (neither the shooting or racing is complicated), but I like that it has towns, inventory stuff, simple and yet accessible gameplay, etc. It's no Doom, but how many games are Doom anyway... but yeah, even if id isn't the id of the '90s (and it's definitely not), they clearly can still make good games.
Oh, and it runs quite nicely on my computer, as well. I have the settings on medium to medium-high, and it runs well (at 1280x1024). Very nice, considering my CPU is from early 2007 (the GPU's newer, but the CPU has not been upgraded). I presume part of that is the console focus showing through, though... but it looks quite nice, so that's good anyway.
