Late to the party and missing a key component.
Xbox 360 owners have been waiting patiently for Epic Games' latest frag-fest to come to their console. Now after more than half-a-year they can finally see what PS3 and PC owners have been talking about; well at least the core of it. Unreal Tournament III has finally arrived on Microsoft's console, and while it does come packed with some brand new features and goodies, it still lacks the core component of what makes the other versions infinitely replayable: user-generated content. Even with this sad omission though, UT 3 is more than worth the price of admission for anyone who has yet to take the plunge.
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
