Um, no, gray alien.... TCP is actually built on UDP. UDP is just a packeting and i think routing protocol. no guarantees about packet order or even if it gets to the destination. UDP is usually ideal for games because if you have to wait to resend something, usually the data doesn't matter anymore anyway. TCP ensures that packets arrive in order, that they actually arrive, and probably does some other handy utility stuff like timing.
