Dave Thomas from AutoBlog contributes this special guest-review of Doom 3 for
us:
I'm not a regular Joystiq blogger. In fact, I'm usually testing new cars over at Autoblog. But for years I was a video
game reviewer and recently Doom 3 made it's way to my desk. After installing it and fixing my sound card so I could
hear the excellent dialogue and effects I was immediately immersed in this game. I'm not even a fan of the first person
shooters, but I already love the latest edition to the signature series, although Doom 3 reminds me more of Resident
Evil than the first Doom. As the hour reached 10 p.m. and the house was dark and quiet, Doom 3 took hold of my
consciousness. The game is so well done that my heart was genuinely pounding as the first space zombies (I'm guessing
that's what you'd call them) jumped out of the dark. Doom 3 follows the same recipe as a good scary ride at Universal
Studios: build suspense, make it really dark and keep things moving quickly. I'm not sure how long the game will keep
me interested but I'm willing to test my limits.
