So thanks to the UDK, we don't have to own a copy of UT3 in order to play UE3 mods if the developers are willing to port their work across to the UDK? Or something like that? That's pretty damn cool.

Oh, I thought we'd have to still own UT3. ( I don't have it ). So if that's the case and just having the UDK allows us to play mods....

kewl.

Can we get this onto a node mirror?

you dont even have to have the UDK, you simply download the game that was created using the udk and it installs like a regular game

sounds sweet, when it says 'singleplayer co-op' does that mean there's an option for both sp and co-op or that it has to be played in co-op?

maybe we can get a review of the mod, speaking of which I haven't seen any mod reviews lately

If you think about it for more than 10 seconds its not that hard to figure out..

single player co-op, co-operative gameplay with one person.

the game involves manipulating time-space ala Braid.

so you are co-operating with your past and future self to solve the puzzles.
