...And In Gaming News...

Unreal Engine 3 is the coolest game engine ever. No, seriously.

Unreal Engine 3 is provided as one unified codebase that compiles on PC and all supported next-generation console platforms. All game content and data files are compatible across all supported platforms, for fast turnaround time between code and content development on PC, and playtesting on console or PC.

Read up on this, folks; this is where the next generation of games are going to come from. Just ask IGN: at GDC 2004 and 2005 they took a good look at the engine and its power, and were very impressed.

The first games that are CONFIRMED to be under development for this engine are, of course, Unreal 3 and Unreal Tournament 2006, but the engine itself should at this point already be licensing out to developers, so hopefully we'll see more games in it soon.
For the curious, you can get the tech demo here, and see the glory for yourself.

By the way, Guild Wars shipped on the 28th of April, and should be available in stores tomorrow. Woohoo!

Oh, and by the way, not only has PSP Video 9 been released, but there are apparently a ton more movies in the works for PSP, as well.
