    Doom3 is out!

    Well, I just picked up a copy, and I have yet to play it. Gotta get thru work first. Anyone actually play it yet? I'm pretty excited, I remember playing the original years ago when I was a kid.

        No kidding. I keep watching the clock, I swear it's gonna start going backwards. Looks like eb upped the price a bit too.

        Ya, you should be able to run it. Another 512MB of Ram wouldn't hurt, but you should be fine.

          I got it yesterday. There's another thread a few pages long on it.

          I'm running it at 1024x768 on Medium Quality with:
          1.2GHz Athlon T-Bird
          GeForce 4 Ti 4200
          512mb ram
          7200rpm hdd
          XP Corp

          It runs decent, kinda choppy at times. Probobly gonna upgrade soon to:
          Epox EP-8RDA3+
          AMD Athlon XP 2500+ "Barton" Core
          XFX GeForce 6800
          512mb PC-3200
          WD 74gb Raptor

          But anyway, the game is f'in awesome. The graphics are incredible. Game's pretty creepy too, and I love the music.

              I applaud anyone who can play this game for more than 30 minutes in one sitting. I'm just outside the Alpha Labs. I just need to find the PDA so I can get through the door!

                      The opening song is the only piece of true music. There are some minor background sequences, but minor and don't last long.

                      Best scary game EVAR. Only thing that comes close to touching this is AVP2 Marine missions, but this is scarier beyond explanation. It's incredibly intense.

                      Oh, and for those of you that are thinking about getting the strategy guide, don't. You'll ruin the surprises!

                            This afternoon I was ambushed by 2 imps. I'm surprised I killed them because my arm was shaking like crazy. I can only go in 30 minute increments once a day. 30 minutes a day is the perfect dosage.

                            Nope I need to find the PDA of some administration guy. I was backtracking my steps to find it and ran into a crapload of imps and a pinky demon. I still haven't found it.

                              Hhehe. Played for 18 hours straight yesterday. Quite a few good scares.
                              Played it though on veteran the first time. Going back through it on nightmare now.
                              Great classic shooter style FPS.
