It’s been a while since we last saw anything about Huxley. IGN recently came out with a verbose preview, but it’s the video that came with the article that got my attention.

Strangely, this Huxley footage doesn’t remind me of Unreal Tournament 3 at all, unlike what I formerly perceived. I was also surprised to see that the “MMO element” in Huxley looks exactly like your typical MMO (i.e. walking around in third-person). Perhaps the FPS elements would kick in when you get into missions.
Anybody stoked about Huxley?

You know what’s cooler than your usual Unreal Tournament 3 fragging? Playing UT3 with the new Lego mod, that’s what. But wait! Before you start downloading the mod (you can get it here), know that it’s for the PS3 version only. If your PC or 360 is hurting for a new mod, sorry.

We all know that PC gamers are getting Unreal Tournament 3 this very month, but the release date for the Playstation 3 version remains tentative. Mark Rein, vice president at Epic Games, told Eurogamer that the chances of getting the PS3 version this year is still pretty good.

If I’m not sucking blood in nightclubs and shooting zombies on the head, I’m spending quality time with the Unreal Tournament 3 demo, which is now available for download. I chose to prioritize it over the Call of Duty 4 demo (which is also available) because of one very important reason: size.

Size alone is a sufficient come-hither because the UT3 demo is good for a mere 777MB.

It gets even better when you run the game. Not only are you treated to the best performance of the Unreal 3 engine so far, but you’ll also be treated to a …read more

I’m pleasantly surprised to learn that a previous conjecture of mine was mistaken. When Mark Rein, vice president at Epic Games announced that Unreal Tournament 3 won’t have cross-platform play between the PC and PS3, I thought that it was for the best because PS3 users won’t stand a chance with the keyboard/mouse-wielding PC crowd.

You see, Mark Rein announced that the PS3 version of UT3 will support the keyboard and mouse scheme.

“I checked with Steve Polge and he said that YES we are supporting keyboard and mouse in Unreal Tournament 3 on PS3. He is confident we are …read more
