After a few hours tinkering around with Epic's PS3 version of Unreal Tournament 3, we have to say we're very impressed. Epic has, at least upon initial examination, done a great job making sure PS3 users get the full Unreal Tournament experience. Not only does it control well with the SIXAXIS, but the game features fully customizable mouse and keyboard support, along with the ability to load in mods.

"SIXAXIS can be used to steer the hoverboard or The Redeemer, but that's it. We wanted to be very careful not to hammer this functionality in just because we could. As for PlayStation Network, we just don't have a plan to use that right now to my knowledge but I suppose it's possible."

Gaming in 2007 is all about the online experience. Even our single player sessions are being showcased across the world through leaderboards and achievement points and punters are jumping on the bandwagon, making the notion of human vs. human gameplay a true mainstream concept for the first time in history. With this in mind, Unreal Tournament 3 must be considered one of the pics of the massive Christmas game line-up.

Speaking on official Epic forums, Mark Rein revealed that the developer's not yet decided about cross-platform play between PC and PS3. "We're not 100% sure that users want that feature", Rein said in a post, "but if we get time we'll play around with it and see how it works".

Epic's Lead Producer Jeff Morris took a second to talk with me last week about the decision to allow mods to make their way from PC to PS3. We talked game modding until Mark Rein showed up with the script of the Gears of War movie and got me all flustered. Morris says that's why Rein isn't allowed to go to press events "It always turns the discussion back to Gears of War." I think he was kidding. I've always felt that user-created content has long been a sort of holy grail for console shooters. It is mods, I think, that help extend the life of shooters on the PC and it's the last thing, well one of the major last things, you can't do on a console shooter. Not Anymore.
