Doom 3

Doom 3 - PC

Scary-good

id Software includes this message with each copy of Doom 3: Play the game the way it was meant to be played - lock the doors, turn off the lights, and turn up the volume. They might as well have added a fourth rule: Don't play if you have heart problems. For anyone who's interested in games for their scare factors, you need look no further than Doom 3. Even the very beginning of the game, where your actions are limited to picking up your standard-issue pistol and, in the words of the game's objective screen, "Performing the duties of a Marine," is freaky. "The duties of a Marine"? What does that mean? Does that include shooting demons? Well, after about ten minutes, it does. You know the drill, except there's more of a story this time around, and id takes more time to tell it through cutscenes. That said, if your computer's not up to snuff, you'd be better off picking up the Xbox version. This game is clearly intended for the top-of-the-line PC. Casual gamers who happen to have a PC probably need to get a major upgrade just to be able to play this game through smoothly. Is Doom 3 fun? If you like scary games, this is your wet dream. Doom fans will definitely want to pick up a copy. Beyond that...this game may scare most casual gamers away.
