Midway announces Unreal Anthology

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Jun 15th 2006 at 4:25PM }

The impossibly gorgeous Unreal Tournament 2007 won't be out for quite a while yet, a fact which appears powerless to stop Midway from making a few bucks from the franchise they previously snatched away from Atari. Dubbed Unreal Anthology, their neat little package will contain the original Nali slaughterfest, Unreal, its Return to Na Pali expansion pack, Unreal II: The Awakening, Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition and Unreal Tournament 2004: Editor's Choice Edition.

Come this August, you'll be able to waltz into a store and pick up three great first-person shooters (and one alarmingly average one) for the satisfying sum of $29.99. You may also want to peruse the rest of the PC section and discover all the other titles you've missed in the years that you've been trapped in cryogenic suspension (yes, Half-Life has a sequel now).

Awesome, I may have to pick this up for my brother in law. I got him hooked on UT several years back, but he's only played ut:goty. With this maybe I'll be able to frag him now ut2k4. :)

Ureal 2 yuck that game left a really bad taste in my mouth.For $30 the pack seems good i might get it to play the early unreal games and see what the fuss was about.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMONSTER KILL.

Goody. I kinda like UT2k4, and I liked the demo I played of the original UT.

What the hell? Where's the love for UT2003? Whores.

"Ureal 2 yuck that game left a really bad taste in my mouth"

The game is supposed to suck, you're not supposed to suck the game.

(Hopefully I don't get a second negative star for humor again.)

I thought the whole point of Unreal Tournament 2004 was to fix the "OMIGOD ITS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME!" issues of UT2003.

To be a total Unreal dork: "Nali slaughterfest" isn't exactly correct, considering you were protecting the Nali from the Skaarj. "Skaarj slaughterfest" would have been more appropriate.

Dork hat, deactivate.

Bloo-

It's only humor if you're not the only one laughing.

Hm. Great in the sense that we should be able to hold on to classic games, but nothing special. I don't remember the first Unreal being too much to sneeze at... after the first level, it was stage after stage of aimless, empty, albeit very very pretty (at the time) scenery with the odd enemy. UT was and still is a totally awesome game, but isn't getting the first and the second at the same time kind of pointless? They're basically the same game.
