Wow. I'm amazed that Epic managed to pack so much awesomeness into 700mb. The latest in the Unreal Tournament series looks better that ever, and at a very playable framerate. I cannot wait to get my hand on the final game (and a comupter that'll let me crank the settings).
The game starts out with a few logos that will (hopefully) be gone in the final game. Then we get to the main menu. The music is unfamiliar at first, then subtly grows into the UT theme. We have our usual menu options, the same as UT2004.
For some odd reason, UT3 wanted to use 50% of my screen to render. Let me explain. With a screen resolution of 640x480, it wanted to expand 320x240 pixels to fill my screen. While this is probably because my computer isn't fancy new, it's still odd.
When I actually went into a game, it looked beautiful. No surprise, but I thought I should mention it. The gameplay still feels like UT, all the weapons feel the same, and the vehicles are still good as well.
Though I didn't win my first match, it was still a blast. The greatest FPS is back with a vengeance, and it's kickin' ass and takin' names.

New Crysis demo out!
The new Crysis demo is on Fileshack, and despite it's size, it's worth every megabyte. I took a little time to play it this morning, and even on the lowest settings, the game looks beautiful. My computer managed about 10 fps, which is not bad for my computer's age.
We start with hearing a scientist sending out a short radio message, but she's found by the Koreans before she can say much more than 'This discovery will change the world'.
Seven days later, you are in an airplane over the main island, listening to the chatter of your teammates before your jump to the LZ. On the way down, you get hit by something, and lose your chute. Fortunately, you land over water and your suit protects you. From there, you must meet up with the rest of your team and proceed to rescue the civilians. I won't give away too much story, but suffice to say that Crysis is going to be amazing.
It took me a while to get used to the suit controls, but once I did, it only took me about half a second to change modes, tops. It would seem that Cevat Yerli has really put good effort into this game, and I strongly recommend that you download the demo now. You won't be sorry.
