Doom 3

Outstanding!

It's the biggest PC game release in years ... and it's a terror-filled epic that should keep most gamers hooked from beginning to end. Read Review

Distinguishing itself from previous titles, the third game in the series focuses more on an engrossing single player experience. In addition to its frenzied first-person shooter action, it also scares the wits out of players as they tremble down dark corridors filled with gruesome zombies and monsters ready to attack from the shadows. Players have to switch between their weapons and their flash light to survive the horror that Hell has unleashed on Mars. DOOM 3 features realistic physics, 6-channel surround-sound, and real-time dynamic lighting and shadows that create an environment of ever-changing fear and uncertainty. Compete in vicious multiplayer action where light, shadows, and a totally dynamic world can be used to your advantage or peril.

Doom 3 BFG Edition Release Date Set

PC News | Jun 19, 2012

Bethesda and id Software announced today the Doom 3 BFG Edition will be ready for your enhanced demon-blasting pleasure on October 16.

Yesterday Bethesda and id announced Doom 3 will get an enhanced re-release called the BFG Edition. That's great news (the Doom series hasn't seen much love since 2004) but scanning down the list of BFG's features, it seems to be much more about porting the PC version and the Duct Tape Flashlight Mod over to the current generation of consoles than giving PC gamers a reason to play this controversial shooter again.
