There doesn't seem to be much going on today yet, so here a bit of light reading that shooter fans might enjoy. Shacknews have taken a recent hands on look at Unreal Tournament 3 on both PC and Playstation 3 and have reported back their thoughts.

Unreal Tournament 3 continues in the footsteps of its forebears, offering fast-paced online FPS gameplay across several modes and dozens of maps. To that effect, the game will ship with around 40 battlefields in all. While Epic is taking the opposite approach of recent multiplayer games like Team Fortress 2 and Shadowrun, which attempt to provide a handful of focused maps, this still counts as a reduction in real estate from previous titles in the series.
