Valve is mighty pleased with this development: long-time PC developer Epic Games has finally wrought itself from the underbrush of retail only and entered its entire Unreal franchise – Unreal Tournament franchise line included – for your online purchase and download needs. What’s more is that the most exclusive of the Unreal Tournament SKUs – the special editions – are the ones offered for sale:

• Unreal Gold
• Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition
• Unreal Tournament 2004: Editor’s Choice Edition
• Unreal 2: The Awakening
• Unreal Tournament 3

Okay, so maybe there’s one exception, and that is Unreal Tournament 3. But that’s probably for a good reason, since Unreal Tournament 3‘s regular and Collector’s Editions don’t have any in-game content that’s different from each other.

But Steam‘s 10 discount whistles a wonderful tune to our ears, and this does bring up interesting prospects of Valve-hosted UT servers. This might be a perfect opportunity to reacquaint ourselves with what made the earliest games epic. And that’s without unsealing your – and my – cherished Totally Unreal and UT2004 ECE boxes just to taste the sweet nectar of UT.
