UT is another one of those games that is considered a bit of a classic 
but I've never played. I'd of course heard of it but being a online 
shooter was a no buy for me. It wasn't that I didn't play multi-player 
(I spent a lot of hours in MoH and CoD) but I still saw it as basically 
a freebie that came with a single player game. It also wasn't something 
I took seriously so just fire it up, shoot some players, die a lot and 
then do something else.
