If you haven’t been paying close attention you might think that Only Mortal is the name of a new first-person shooter. But actually it’s a free OS X utility that players can use to find servers for playing games like Quake III. The good news is, the authors are working on a new version for release soon and IMG's Matt Diamond got to check it out.

Here's a snippet from the preview:

So what can you expect from Only Mortal 2.0? For starters, support for some new games. Being a fan of both Unreal Tournament and Elite Force, I was pleased to see them make an appearance, as well as Quake 1 and QuakeWorld. The authors are also working on adding SiN and Jedi Knight 2 to the list, and at least one other title that they don’t want to talk about yet. To encourage game developers to support Only Mortal in future, they are releasing an SDK to make it as easy as possible for new games to be supported.
