Doom 3

Review
When Doom first shot to fame in 1993, its pleasures were simple and incessantly brutal: butcher everything that moved and get the hell out of a Martian space station overrun by Beelzebub’s bad boys. Now, after four years in development, the nightmare is back, only this time it’s evolved into a very different beast.

Unlike the previous games where your only motivation was survival, Doom 3 brings a strong sense of storytelling to the slaughter; this time the nightmarish tale unfolds in a series of slick CG movies, making for a deeper, more compelling experience where you actually care what happens to your hapless hero.

But the main reason to buy Doom 3 is its genuinely terrifying atmosphere — from realistic, dancing shadows to towering Hell-spawn, this is one game that’s guaranteed to live with you long after you hit ’shut down’. As Arnie said in Total Recall, “Get your ass to Mars.”

Welcome to Hell My Friend.

After years of waiting, we once again get to take on the forces of hell (literally). Was it worth the wait? To put it frankly, yes. Visually it's stunning and you would be hard pressed to find another game out there that matches Doom 3. One area of the game that has created debate however is the simplicity of the gameplay. This simplicity is not necessarily bad, but with other first person shooters out there involving more variety to gameplay (such as vehicles, landscapes, object interaction etc... Read More
