Midway recently acquired the Unreal license and they just announced their first game. Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict will be out for the Xbox on April 11 and features up to 8 players online in various multiplayer scenarios. THe melee combat sounds interesting and I'm curious to see if they implemented it as well as they say they did.
