IGN Scores/Game Ranking
Unreal - 9.0/89%
Unreal Tournament/GotY - 9.6/93%
Unreal Tournament 2003 - 9.0/88%
Unreal Tournament 2004 - 9.4/93%
Unreal Tournament 2004: Editors Choice - 9.4/94%

Unreal 2 was as average as Killzone (not bad but nothing new or special) so not including that.

Halo - 9.7/96%
Halo 2 - 9.8/95%


Unreal holds it's own quite well. It is the most established online shooter franchise ever made (closely followed by Quake and Half-Life). So UT3 will score as well as Halo 3 will (does a .2 from IGN or a 3% difference on GameRanking really make that much of a difference) just going by the franchises above.

Well when i think of fall lineup, i will always include games that just came out in august, i mean bioshock should really be up there, its a fantastic shooter that puts 360 above the ps3, only slightly though if we count Unreal t as exclusive (just for fall) and haze remains a exclusive

 let me fix his list

Dec 21st - Feb 20th = Winter

Feb 21st - May 20th = Spring

May 21st - August 20th = Summer

August 21st - Dec 20th = Fall

So mattering when BioShock was released yes it fits, and so does Warhawk.  

PS3 hands down, because out of all of those shooters only UT3 will support keyboard and mouse.

Also, for classic shooters, the PS3 has the best with Everyday Shooter.

Haze and Time Crisis 4 (2 sensors) are bonuses, as is Halo 3, but UT3 stands above them all imo.

agreed, like bioshock and blue dragon, lair and warhawk should make the lists they fit

I should note by the way, the reason i like the wiimote shooters so much (aside from the really bad ones like Farcry) isn't that the controls are better then the dual analog. I mean, they are... by a mile, but so is a mouse, and that's never stopped me before.

It's that the control gives you a level of fun and imersion that both dual analog and mouse misses out on. You want to feel really in the game? Graphics arn't what's going to do it. Atleast not for me. Actually pointing something like a gun is what does it the most for me. Hence why i mentioned the Wii pistol. It controls almost as good as the mouse combined with more of an actual shooter feel.

You are in Japan?

I have to admit I don't see how lag can be avoided - it's a matter of distance. Even with dedicated servers and good connections, there is no guarantee that you won't lag, as there are many potential pitfalls.

As an example: I have a 6MB broadband connection, and a friend of mine who lives about 1km away has the exact same connection, with the same ISP. When we connect, our ping is around 15ms, which is silky-smooth - you can't notice any lag at all. We are both in Hong Kong.

My brother-in-law lives in the US (east coast) and he has something like a 10MB connection, but whenever we meet to play online, our lag jumps considerably: on good days we are talking about 150ms pings, but it normally hovers around 225ms, and in extreme cases, 350ms; this is when we give up because pretty much everything gets choppy.

Now there are some games where you won't notice lag, and other which simply have better network code. Games like UT are pretty good at handling lag, while S.T.A.L.K.E.R. simply sucks.

Racing games are notoriously finicky about lag, and you frequently see cars disappearing, then appearing several meters ahead of you.

Perhaps RFoM has very good network code, and perhaps RFoM as a result is better able to hide the lag, but that doesn't mean there isn't any lag. As a rule of thumb, anything over 150ms and you should be able to notice the lag, especially when you "play for keeps" and compare your experience between playing with someone locally vs playing someone from halfway across the globe.

ps3.. cant wait for HAZE been waiting a long time for it UNREAL im a fan of to soo ye :)
