So I went to my local EBGames to see if they had by chance the newly
released UT3 ,which is shipped today 7th of July.
I thought I might get lucky thinking the postal system got them in by
noon,but nowhere to be found at any game sales locations. Which is
normal giving that the release/ship date is today.

So I said I go ahead and reserve a copy ,so when they come in tomorrow
I'll definitley get one.

Well after I reserved one, the clerk was curious to see how many
people had reserved a copy , and get this , all of 2 people reserved a
copy. OUCH ! that's gotta sting a little , I mean I knew UT3 from most
people's accounts either sucks ass or is mediocre.
But since I've got a little disposable income I'd figure what the
heck, how bad can UT3 be?? right ..heh..

Well the clerk found pity on me,lol, and gave me a UT3 faceplate for
free.

Keep in mind this local EBGames always sells out the pre-orders for
just about every FPS .

But just (2) reservations for UT3. wow , ouch

Maybe if Epic did to UT what they did to Gears it would have been different.
UT3 IMHO felt almost identical to the original UT and this is one game that
doesn't play well on a controller. I just hope Epic keeps evolving Gears and
they don't fall into the UT / Halo rut.

IMO Halo 4 is going to see a drop off on sales if Bungie doesn't evolve it's
game play. They need to make it more tactical. It reminds me a lot of UT
but at a slower speed.

Isn't word that the next Halo is going to be a tactical shooter?
