Aside from Quake of course, I've never heard of the others. *Goes off to have a google*.
Why is there nothing like quake or timesplitters around anymore?

Well since the engines all the Quake games were built on were open sourced a splurge of clones was practically inevitable. A lot of them are pretty fun though, if you're fast enough
Nothing on idTech 4 yet...
Timesplitters 2 & 3 were so good.
The level editor, for all it's limitations was brilliant - what console FPS since has brought a real level editor where you could actually make properly original fun maps ?
The game was so customisable & all the setup was done on about 2 screens - shows just how bloated the menu systems on modern games have become.

Perfect Dark Zero was an utter abomination
Nar, was an excellent game till Elvis came into it (N64 version anyway - Xbox one was poor) but the Timesplitters team greatest work was Goldeneye N64 - that was one of the greatest FPS ever ... that damn cradle on OO was so hard!

Old school RA3 player here. Nothing has had me more addicted to gaming than that one.
Timesplitters rocked too.
Ooooh nostalgia! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPamPPvoZjc

Nexuiz is looking to be a spiritual successor to Q3A of sorts, runs on Cryengine 3.

The project hadn't been updated for ages, so another team took it up and renamed it Xonotic.
I also miss instagib which for those who don't know is a one shot kills perfectly accurate weapon/game mode, theres nothing like this around in any modern games as far as i know, since the multiplayer games of old i've noticed how weapons have become more and more annoying to add 'realism', you have larger bullet spread if you move and recoil as you shoot pushing your view upwards, sure perhaps it adds an element of skill but it arguably takes just as much to hit a moving target with the same weapon as you who wants to kill you before you do him, where it all comes down to pure accuracy and timing, theres nothing like it.

You're thinking of the wrong game. Nexuiz has already been released on XBLA and is due to be released on PC and PS3 "soon".

No, you're thinking of the wrong game. Nexuiz 1.0 was released in 2005
Still thinking of the wrong one.
Agreed, the original is still the best by far!
I remember sitting on the first Timesplitters for hours on end with my friend in the biggest AI battle you could have on some strange map . Even though it was so long ago I still remember it having more interesting map design than now a days.
Thinking back now that game has aweful graphics but amazing gameplay.
