One of the best competitive shooting series returns for another installment in Unreal Tournament III. Like games past, the latest Unreal features spectacular graphics, highly sophisticated artificial intelligence and extremely fast paced gameplay. Of course, all these fantastic features have somewhat unreal system requirements, but that's to be expected from high-end shooters. Using a wide variety of weapons, players can battle it out against each other or very competitive bots in speedy gunfights.
Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?
I hate any game that has motion blur and the first thing I do is switch off the motion blur in games. It just makes me nauseous.
I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.

“In all seriousness though, I feel like DOOM’s success will be measured by how much the game has to offer. Graphically it’s looking spectacular, and I’m sure the latest multiplayer trailer caught all of our attention. Personally, the game is beginning to remind me of those late nights playing Unreal Tournament 3, which is totally a good thing. This, in addition to the promise of user-generated content, is making DOOM look like the best first-person shooter I’ve seen in ages.”
The campaign looks brilliant, like a true nostalgia trip to the original DOOM titles of old! The multiplayer equally looks like a trip down memory lane to fast-paced and frantic arena games a-la Quake, and honestly the MP REALLY makes me want to the get game at launch to capitalise on the hype. Problem is I'm not overly fussed with multiplayer typically in games, they can get weary after a while, and buying a game solely for its MP is risky - especially on console - as it's heavily dependant on the community!
Rock to my left, hard place to my right..
EDIT: On the MP note, does anyone know if it'll have bots available, similar to Unreal Tournament 3? I still give that a quick play time to time with bots (and all the mad mutators).
I’m exactly the same, usually multiplayer games are of no interest to me. But DOOM has sparked my curiosity, especially as someone who used to enjoy multiplayer first person shooters like Quake/Unreal. Totally understand your concerns about it being heavily dependant on the community, too. Which is just another reason they should include bots, in case the numbers need to be made up. I’m hoping the community will be good, considering the creative freedoms they’re handing over with the SnapMap thing.
Its basically a "console" ahead, in terms of graphics, of another shooter called Homefront thats getting ready to release. LOL
Great selections as always and they are...
Final Fantasy
Metal Gear Solid
Super Smash Bros.
Crypt of the Necrodancer
Unreal Tournament
Advance Wars
Payday 2
I don't get. UT3 looks stunning, has unmatched multiplayer with insane variety, has a decent singleplayer and story and technically is a masterpiece. Why it's getting 8s and 9s while Halo 3 and Gears of War (360) got 10s is beyond me.
What? :| I can play UTIII on my crappy Pc with it's minimum requirements and the game runs smoothly for me.
Man i hope this game make it to the ps3 this year. i really do
going to get it for sure... maybe not on release cause i can't afford 10 games in 1 month, but in January for sure
UT3?
