> Can't you tell me the game needs updating when I play the game and then update the game in-game?

Can you explain this a little? Do you have any examples? Unless you're installing a completely new copy of the game, you're not going to be able to play while you update, making this look an awful lot like a launcher. I'm not aware of any games that are hot-updatable.

Patch files. I recall Quake requiring a binary release to update.

Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 had in game patching when you went online. Both world class games.
