When Unreal Tournament 3 came out for the PC, only 49 states belonged to the Union (Hawaii was still a territory). When the PS3 port came out, gas was less than two dollars a gallon. These facts may not be true, but they feel true -- UT3's Xbox 360 version is huffing and puffing and bringing up the rear, long after anyone cares to watch the race.
On any platform, UT3 is what it is: a smorgasbord of elaborate geometry, fast old-school gameplay, classic UT weapons, and some of the best pre-Quake Wars bots. Vehicles include some totally sweet alien tripods, hovertanks, and weird things with tentacles. The slimmed-down gameplay modes are disappointing compared to the last UT, but Xbox 360 players wouldn't know that, so it's pretty much all cool.
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).
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
AHAHAHAAHAAHAHAH
Be some angst going on in this Gamerzone (and especially the Open Zone) if anyone still cares about UT3 scores.
lol man if there bashing this game for it coming out only a few months after the PS3 and PC. Then I can only imagine what they will say when Bioshock comes out for the PS3.
