Just one criticism, since you got mike capps on the horn and all, and were discussing Unreal Engine 3.0, why not ask him about the issues it has, like the horrible texture pop in that is evident even in epic's own games, and the framerate drops that frequently plague the games that use it.

I don't think I've played ANY U.E.3 game to date that did not have blatant texture-pop in, and frame rate issues, even in gears of war and UT3 (although they were minimal in epic's own games, they are pronounced in licensee's games)
