IGN has put together a terrific article on the history of the Unreal Engine from Epic Games. The engine is one of the most powerful currently in use and is the technology behind many of this generation’s biggest hits.

The article gives some great insight into the early days Tim Sweeney spent creating a unique architecture for game development and follows through with how the engine has evolved and its current usage. Several other game developers are quoted giving unique vantage points on one of today’s most popular engines.

I highly recommend the article to any gaming enthusiast; check it out here.
