The Unreal Engine 3 that powers many, many games, including recent hits such as Mass Effect 3 and Gears of War 3 will soon be used by various US government institutions, including the FBI.<\/p>\n

Epic games has announced a partnership with game maker Virtual Heroes to license its Unreal Engine to U.S. government agencies and allies within the “Unreal Government Network.”<\/p>\n

The engine is currently being used by the FBI academy to develop a multi-player crime scene training simulation.” Medical training is also getting in on the action, with Unreal Engine 3 allowing doctors to practise anaesthesiology without killing someone.<\/p>\n

Epic Games and Virtual Heroes have also been awarded $10 million dollars to buy a fleet of black SUVs<\/s> develop experimental games that help analysts detect cognitive biases in their work.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s hoping some of that funding goes towards improving the Unreal Engine 3 for the really important games such as \u201cMass Effect 3: Not a crappy ending edition\u201d.<\/p>\n
