i care so much less about doom3 after this... this is the game to have this year... no questions in my mind... and maybe, just maybe we will see tf2 soon there after... as they have been building it on the same engine, etc... the multiplayer for hl2? maybe, but i doubt it... cuz it will be so wanted, why give it away for free... maybe a expansion of sorts... hrmmmmm

It took some time, but I finally finished downloading this from bittorrent. Truly sweet. The graphics kick ass, but I really like how so many objects are interactive in this game. Good stuff. B)

More news from E3, today from Atari. Read the complete article here.

"Atari has been reborn with a lineup of the most entertaining and wide-reaching video games available on the market," said Bruno Bonnell, chairman and CEO of Atari. "By joining Hollywood and entertainment partnerships with the industry's best collection of developers, we have positioned Atari as a leader in our industry and an innovator among publishers.

Here are some of the bigger titles coming from Atari in the near future:
Enter the Matrix (PS2, Xbox, GC, PC)
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (PS2, Xbox)
Terminator 3: War of the Machines (PC)
Mission: Impossible - Operation Surma

Sounds like Atari still won't quit. Gotta love 'em! B)

Rounding out the Atari news today, the big announcement was for Unreal Tournament 4. Here is the official details.

Atari has announced that a new edition of Unreal Tournament will be out later this year that will be compatible with Unreal Tournament 2003 and will include a bunch of new gameplay modes, new maps, voice chat, and other gameplay enhancements. UT 2004 isn't exactly a sequel or a stand-alone expansion. In addition to the significant features and the multiplayer content in UT 2004, it will also include the original Unreal Tournament 2003 content and the freely downloadable bonus packs released by Digital Extremes and Epic Games earlier this year.

Interesting direction Atari is going in.

There are a handful of notable new features in store for the new edition. Perhaps the most significant addition is built-in voice chat that actually takes advantage of 3D audio hardware, so players can hear the shouts of those around them correctly positioned in 3D space.

Last but not least, publisher Take Two (Grand Theft Auto fame) critized Sony today for not dropping the price of their console to $150 instead of the current $179. Check out the article here.

"Like all publishers, we were looking for a $50 price cut, but Sony wants to maximize its revenue," Jeff Lapin told CNN/Money in an interview at E3, the annual trade show of the video game industry. "I am hopeful that by the end of the year we'll see the $149 price point – but I was disappointed we didn't see a drop to $149 here."

Sounds like Sony is being greedy. Take Two thinks so.
