It doesn't look like he stands much of a chance of winning anything with the xprize though..

I disagree saying that he isn't much of an influence anymore.
I'm not familiar with him, or his games really, but I do feel he does play a big role on the FPS's we know and love today. I have played both DOOM & Quake (I know Quake isn't an FPS, but hey...), and they are great. I also feel that this new engine will make all these games even better.
I do agree with him not winning anything for the xprize engine, but I don't think he's doing it just to get a piece of metal. This is just my opinion, so I'm probably wrong
