Even though we’re yet to see the release of a game that utilizes the Unreal 3 engine, there’s no doubt that this engine is the future of next gen titles. We already have high profile games like Too Human, Gears of War, UT 2007 and lots more using this engine and now it seems developer/publisher EA has leased the engine for its upcoming next-gen titles that are currently under development. What’s EA motive behind this you ask,? Well it’s pretty simple. What they plan on doing is “license cutting edge tools like the Unreal Engine 3 and combine them with [EA’s] own systems to create state-of-the-art development technology.” Epic vice president Mark Rein added that his company is “obviously thrilled to license Unreal Engine 3 to EA, the world leader in our industry.” Any idea where that sucking sound’s coming from?

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now. see more
