Capture the flag's become synonomous with guns and killing and frags and spawn points, but it wasn't always that way. I remember playing the real deal CTF at school, and the real deal had no killing - just tips, a jail and the slim, vain hope that even though you were "out", someone could always come bail you out.

The mod team behind Jailbreak! are fans of the classic variety of CTF, to the point where there's not even a flag anymore. Just the jails. Except now you've got guns. Get killed and you end up in a cell, where you're stuck until the game ends or someone is able to rescue you, bringing you back into the game. First team to lock up every member of the other side wins.

It's an original enough premise, at least in terms of FPS games, and because of that definitely worth a look. Luke Plunkett
