I use to be a big fan of Epic Games, now since the Unreal games have died and Gears of War is on its way, I love the Unreal series, now Epic is not my favourite game company anymore :(, My company is my favourite though.
maybe these dudes should look into the superior engines made by iD Sooftware before attempting to make their own? Same could, and should, be said about the flawed Xray engine too (god that engine is so horrible brrr)
It's a shame they didn't make GoW 2 or GoW 3 for the PC :(
Will we be seeing some unreal games for download here on Desura? a lot of people would buy them! a lot of gamers on here are well into unreal tournament. now that there is a Linux client for Desura, Linux users are getting well into Desura.
Been playing since Jill of the Jungle, no plans to stop. Loving UDK too :-)
Epic Games are Epic.
Just wondering why there's no page for Gears of war 2 or the new Gears of war 3. Ohh yeah thanks Epic for releasing a free version of Unreal Engine 3 it's sweet!
Epic. do i need say more?
Lemme see....
Brilliant games....
Brilliant Team....
And most of all....
They gave us the UDK, a gift of the gods!
PC what?
Depends on what game. Halo 3 is EPIC for Xbox 360, but DOOM is epic for PC.
