Whatta ya know: Epic Games' Unreal, UT games debut on Steam - Image 1


Valve is mighty pleased with this development: long-time PC developer Epic Games has finally wrought itself from the underbrush of retail only and entered its entire Unreal franchise - Unreal Tournament franchise line included - for your online purchase and download needs. What's more is that the most exclusive of the Unreal Tournament SKUs - the special editions - are the ones offered for sale:
  • Unreal Gold
  • Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition
  • Unreal Tournament 2004: Editor's Choice Edition
  • Unreal 2: The Awakening
  • Unreal Tournament 3
Okay, so maybe there's one exception, and that is Unreal Tournament 3. But that's probably for a good reason, since Unreal Tournament 3's regular and Collector's Editions don't have any in-game content that's different from each other.

But Steam's 10% discount whistles a wonderful tune to our ears, and this does bring up interesting prospects of Valve-hosted UT servers. This might be a perfect opportunity to reacquaint ourselves with what made the earliest games epic. And that's without unsealing your - and my - cherished Totally Unreal and UT2004 ECE boxes just to taste the sweet nectar of UT.
