Medal of Honor yes but I dont remember seeing,

"Powered by Unreal Technology"

on the opening sequence of Army of Two like on other games such as Bioshiock. Well, yeah I guess it was on the UE3 but not as polished as EPIC polishes their games.

Army of Two was UE3 based. It references using Unreal Tech in the back of the manual, and in the credits in the game.

Unreal is awesome, but I really wish that Id would get a competing console engine onto the scene to push the market forward.

I know, what happened to the Id Tech 5 Engine? It was supposed to render a huge amount of textures without causing any performance issues on the console...

I don't think Carmack is done with id Tech 5 yet. I'd like to see more Source-based games. It may be dated a bit, but damn it still looks amazing.

Unreal is nice, but there is a certain "look" to the engine that makes it stand out...but not always in a good way. Everything seems bulky and shiny....or am I just going crazy?

Blame this on the modelers and the artists. Look is not inherent to the engine, its inherent to the models and textures.

I agree. Gears of War is an example of how nice the engine can look. But then you have games like Turok that just look generic.

"More than 5" titles? How many more? Why not "At least 6" or just plain "Six"?

Funnily enough, I have watched it, and was referencing it (i.e. "You didn't read the plea offer, did you?")

I wouldnt be surprised, especially with the new updates the UE3 has been given (shown at GDC) and lets face it...Madden needs a new engine.

EA can't make an FPS worth balls. Battlefield 2142 had potential, but it's absolutely lacking, very buggy, and they killed the only thing about the game that made it worth playing (pod surfing).

Rule 1: never buy a videogame based on a movie
Rule 2: never watch a movie based on a videogame
Rule 3: never buy a wii exclusive game that wasn't made by nintendo
Rule 4: never buy an fps if freaking ea made it

*looks at shelf*

well of the EA games I have, I really like Battlefield 2 (although I don't like their blister pack milking, or the annoying server browser) and for all the complaints on the internet, I love Crysis.

Airborne was massively, massively disappointing though. So much potential... *sigh*

Crysis was *developed* by Crytek (The guys who made Far Cry and the upcoming Far Cry 2). Thank them for it not being broken, not EA.

EA doesn't make many games other than their sports games. They PUBLISH a lot of games, DICE makes (develops) Battlefield. No More Heroes for the Wii was great as was Goldeneye for the 64.

Anticrawl, DICE was purchased outright by EA on a tuesday, closed on a wednesday. They kept the name and restaffed. So DICE is EA.

Why did you post a zero punctuation link, first off, he actually says he enjoyed the game. Second off, he's a bloody comedian. If you take his review as fact, they you probably believe Stephen Colbert is indeed crazy, and completely lost sight of the joke.

In any case, yes, the first 2 work quite well, and so does the last one. What happend EA, you use to make such strange and original games, a very long time ago....

Great more "shinieness" in future games. Is'nt everyone done with the unreal engine?? Walls and the ground should not be shiny, only a few games have I seen really used this engine effectivley with everything looking liked polished chrome.

Most games that use the engine don't tweak the material settings...

Amazing the difference that makes. But it's okay, Grimm hasn't any shininess and uses UE3... but it's the engine, not the deadlines and pressure to reach dates that keep studios from doing that extra step.
