I loved Unreal. It was new and fresh, but somehow has turned into a completely different game now with all the sequels. I guess Halo took over from Unreal as it has since spun off to become a, erm, Tournament.

Multi-player is king with these newer titles and there has been plenty of them. With UT3, you get a single player campaign thing where you and some surviving stragglers from your colony go off to do in the nasty woman who led the assault on your unarmed people.

It's more war than games now, but that's okay, the premise is still the same. Mental high-speed sometimes low gravity shooting of absurdly large and varied weapons at others.

That really is it in a nutshell, but anyone who loves this genre simply has to have this game - it pretty much is the best of the bunch.

Crazy, zany, fast, and stunning to look at - those seem to have been the rules when they started making and improving the UT games.

While the likes of war games like Call of Duty and Medal of Honour do need a modicum of tactics, UT is really tear around as fast as you can, and ensure your reaction times are on par with cheetah and the eyes of a very alert eagle.

Making sense of the blur of colour and movement takes some practice - just make sure your strafe keys are well-positioned.

Practice against the game's artificial intelligence if you are new to this stuff before venturing online, but if you have played before, just charge straight into the multiplayer menus - you know the way.
