With the Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo poll running in at 10 votes now, it’s kind of had it’s run. As such I’ve launched a new poll question for you to answer today, with a variety of cool options that will undoubtedly leave you with some heartaches as you try to decide your pick! That’s right: it’s time to choose your favorite recent game to play on a cold winters’ day! Fans of shooters in particular will have a tough choice, in between games like BioShock, The Orange Box, Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3 and Call of Duty 4. But there’s plenty for other gamers too, ranging from underdog The Witcher to the behemoth of huge dynamic battles: Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. Yikes!

Anyway, on to the Unreal Tournament 3 poll results! Ten people replied with their opinions of the UT3 demo and it looks like everyone liked it. One person thought it was decent, whereas another thought it was Godlike. Next up were three people who thought it was Great and the winner is ‘Fun’ with 5 votes. Clearly it looks as though the Unreal Tournament 3 beta demo was favorably received by everyone and hopefully the same will happen for the full version, which will appear in stores later this week. Of course I’ve got it on preorder and will post up my first impressions… well, the moment I have them!

Don’t forget to vote in the poll to the right - and I’ll see you in two weeks for the results, as well as the next poll!

It’s a new month, so it’s time for a new release date overview! This is a completely up to date list of confirmed and estimated release dates for upcoming PC games, as of the 7th of November, 2007. Keep in mind that these dates can be, and often are, subject to change. Additionally these are generally European - Dutch actually - release dates so there might be several days or weeks difference with other regions.

This list should be more than enough to convince even the most hardcore of console fanboys that PC gaming is far from dead. If anything these past few months have shown that PC games are once again going back on track, with a wealth of modern classics releasing one after the other. Whether it was BioShock, World in Conflict, The Orange Box or The Witcher… by now there’s something amazing for everyone. And better yet, the games in this release date list look set to continue that trend. I haven’t been this happy to be a PC gamer since 1999, and after you sit down and look through the following list, I’m sure you’ll feel exactly the same way. Enjoy!

So I blog about PC games, but I bet you’re wondering what it is that I actually play. What do I do in between blog posts? That question will be answered every other week in the “A Gamers’ Log” feature. Think of it as a quick overview of the games I played and perhaps a small prelude to some of the entries to come.

Of course there’s plenty of room to discuss your own gaming habits for the past few weeks as well. So if you’d like to respond to what I’ve written, or add in your own list of cool (or horrid) games you’ve played recently, then by all means: do so! Note that in order to keep this entry somewhat manageable, I’ll limit things to just the main games I’ve played this past month.

It’s been way too long since I lasted updated the poll, but on the bright side this means we have a healthy 12 votes to work with! As you might recall the question for the past weeks has been ‘Which game are you most looking forward to?’. Unfortunately by now most of these games have already been released, and the remainder is scheduled to release in a matter of weeks. Anyhow, Company of Heroes: Opposing Force came in last place with no votes whatsoever. Half Life 2: Episode 2, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer and The Witcher tied for third place with 1 vote. Crysis, Hellgate: London and Unreal Tournament 3 tied for second place with 2 votes - and Call of Duty 4 stole the crown with 3 votes. Good for CoD4, but I’m still not buying it… I definitely did not like that demo. As for the two Hellgate: London fans, I’m certain they’re wishing they voted for something else by now.

Anyway, on to the new poll of the next two weeks! A very simple question focusing on fellow Unreal Tournament fans: ‘What do you think of the Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo?’. There’s a wealth of options for you to choose from… and as for my opinion - well, you already know that. Select whichever option comes to mind as the most suitable - and we’ll talk more in two weeks when the results are in! Also please don’t forget it’s a beta demo, so try to take that into account when rating… bugs and performance issues or lack of content aren’t the things you should be scoring. Everyone always says gameplay > all, so prove it!

Now vote :>

Pretty please?

Every month we’re treated to a wealth of new games to play, but which ones are worth buying? That’s what I’ll try to find out, in the monthly recurring series of Most Impressive PC Games. So in the beginning of every month you can come visit this website, for a quick rundown of the latest and greatest titles, including links to official websites and game demos!

This time I’ll be covering the month of September, 2007 - a genuine beauty of a month for PC gamers. Where August kicked it off with the amazing BioShock and pretty damn good Guild Wars: Eye of the North releases, September looks to be the month to really kickstart a wealth of quality releases to finish the year in a loud bang of PC gaming bliss. We’ve got some great times ahead of ourselves, but for now - let’s look at what we already have, shall we?
