"At 720p and an absolutely consistent 30 frames per second, Unreal Tournament III runs buttery smooth. And while some may have hoped for a higher resolution or higher framerate, once you see the caliber of textures displayed in the game, you'll settle for nothing less. Unreal Tournament III is just a downright beauty to behold. In addition to Sony's very own Uncharted, Unreal Tournament III sits way up high as one of the very best looking games for the PlayStation 3. In fact, it may be the best looking first person shooter available between the two powerhouse consoles."

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.

i'm really try hard to hold off because i need time to save for the 2008 blitz with PS3 games but this is making not walking into game stop a hard thing to do. i seriously wanna have an online blitz but gosh i've got enough games and all i wanna do is just finish the ones i have just beat ratchet, and COD4, and folklore. and now i need time to finish uncharted.
and i still have 4 more guys to kill in assassin's creed, and of course i'm knee deep in my rented mass effect for my best friends 360... too much games and soo freaking little time.
Man, Im liking it more and more! (P.S) I need Bubbles you guys, bots took them away(secretly and cowardly) after i said my Xbox RROD one me!
* EDIT:
''it may be the best looking first person shooter available between the two powerhouse consoles."

cant wait to go pick it up
I wasn't gonna get this game. I've just beat R&C and almost done with Uncharted...I play Warhawk and COD4 online...but I think I might set Warhawk aside for awhile and pick this up. There is a little game slump for a little awhile now away so I will have time for all my game finally...
