doom 3

There's an interesting article over at Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/doom3/preview_6103236.html) about the impending release of what will probably sweep the game of the year awards with Todd Hollinshead and Tim Willits.  Some of the information is stuff we've been reading for the last two years and some of it is very interesting and new stuff that I hadn't seen yet.  What really interests me is the focus they keep coming back to about it being a horror game and not a FPS.  They almost harp on it.  I'm hoping that this isn't just hype, but it's been a long time since I played a game that made me shut down the computer so I could calm down and turn the lights back on.  I'm also intrigued by the comments about Quake IV using the D3 engine, but being a different game and also that John Carmack will be sticking with pc games and not focusing too much on consoles.  I'm a console fan as much as the next guy, but I'm a pc gamer through and through. 

I've told myself that I was going to try and hold off and not pick it up on opening day to see what the overall response is and whether my specs are high enough to handle this monster, but knowing me like I do, I'll probably be searching dallas stores during lunch next Tuesday to find a copy for myself.
