So, while I admittedly didn't spend nearly enough time this week playing games (jeez, what happened?), I did manage to play a bit of Unreal Tournament, which I'm enjoying quite a bit. A friend of mine came over a couple of times, and we had a good ol' time playing CTF against each other with each team balanced out with 4 bots. I'm pretty sick of that level already (I long for the wide open spaces of TRIBES) but it sure is fun. The success of this only makes me more excited for the first batch of bot-centric games, such as the full Unreal Tournament (duh), but also TRIBES Extreme, and of course, Quake III: Arena. If you haven't tried out the bots yet in the UT demo, I highly recommend them. If nothing else, they're a great way to ensure a balanced team.
