Alien Arena, Nexuiz or tremulous


Today, I installed Alien Arena on my machine and it was way cool.
Because my downloading is limited I wanted to know if Nexuiz or Tremulous are better than this and do they worth downloading?

I mean which one of these 3 is better?

Tremulous is oriented toward team play: victory usually depends on which side (alien or human) works together better and has a better understanding of map strategy. Nexuiz tends to be more of a free-for-all, where you basically just try to kill more often then you get killed. So it depends on what you are looking for.

Yeah, that's better than either Tremulous or Nexuiz. Tremulous lacks people to play it, and the people are often a bunch of ******. Nexuiz is just mindless psycho slaughter, if you like that aspect, get it.

For a good FPS, I personally recommend AssaultCube, great fun and reasonably small download (40 MB):

Yeah,
I didn't like Nexuiz at all. But my little brother loved Tremulous.
I'd better stay with Alien Arena and Cube 2.
