Unreal Engine 3 For Free?

If you've ever wanted to get stuck into game creation, why not use a next gen engine such as Unreal Engine 3?
Why not, they've released it for free :)

Windows 7 Performance Rating

Hmmm.
Just ran the performance rating thingy in Windows 7 (64 bit) and a bit dismayed my 10k raptor (boot drive) only came out at 5.9.

New Software Section

New section added for Software.

Just added my automatic desktop wallpaper changer (with dual monitor support) to download.
Best of all IT'S COMPLETELY FREE (aside from any donations you'd like to send of course) :)
Oh and it works in Windows 7 (tested on 64 bit, should also be fine on 32).
Ensure you read the notes for use.

Go check it out (if you're interested of course).
