Unreal Tournament 3 coming to Xbox 360 Summer 2008, here are some screenshots
The vague release date for the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament 3, which has been on the PS3 and PC since 2007 (with decent reviews) was announced recently as “Summer 2008.” There will also be some Xbox 360 exclusive content: two new characters, five new maps, split screen, and according to Mark Rein’s hints, “something Gears of War 2 related.” Five screenshots of the Xbox 360 version were released as well - so continue on for those (one of which would make a nice desktop background) along with the full press release, filled, as usual, with generic self-fellating quotes.

UT3 is looking good on 360, I have to admit.
so when they say it will include something from GoW2. Could they possibly be talking about a multiplayer beta. We all know this isnt gonna sell amazingly and why not promote their future hit.
They said there there won’t be a demo, so I doubt it. That would be awesome though.
Every console Unreal Tournament has fucking sucked, contrary to any reviews.
