This Day in Gaming ?
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 20th birthday of the needlessly verbose Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict. A solo/multi and 1st/3rd-person hybrid, UC2 was an important series milestone that added melee combat, fatality moves, and a character class system of Light, Medium, or Heavy. My overriding memory of it was the Great Scott moment of unlocking a playable Raiden from Mortal Kombat and then using him as the conduit to dispense 1.21 gigawatts of pain at my mates.
