I'm planning on getting the demo - should be available by next weekend (maybe)

I was a fan of iD, I have Quake I & II, but then got into Half-Life and Unreal Tournament.

Halo was fun, but Half-Life 2 is what I'm really looking forward to !

never played half life. I did play counter strike though, I am not a fan of multiplayer gaming. I would prefer to play with myself

Farcry I have heard is good, I don't like games where you kill aliens and demonds, I like killing people in games, the more realistic the better, I like good deaths, that's why my favourite is still soldier of fortune II. Doom 3, pfft killing demons is for kids.

... right ...

Yep, I'm looking forward to it alright...

Anyone heard any information on the ideal machine specs to run it?

I think my geforce 4 ti4200 might struggle a bit.....

Maybe time for an upgrade.

I want it... I think it will only run at a flat 2fps, or there abouts on my AMD 1300+, GeForce 2 MX400 :| I'm thinking about getting a new video card. But HL2 does look good indeed. I've got video's of it from E3... There is a can that can levitate objects and then move them above baddies and let it drop on them But I really want WoW. That is going to be awsome!

Got FarCry yesterday and all I can say is im very impressed

I bought Doom 3 earlier today and I must say that it is a landmark game. I played it for about an hour and I need a bloody break. certainly the most atmospheric game I've played. I was practically shaking while playing it. I know it's only a game, but geeez, the atmosphere and the scariness is unbelievable. In terms of graphics I am seriously impressed. My athlon XP 3000+ and GeForce FX 5950 Ultra (overclocked) seems to be coping quite well.

I have played Far Cry (actually bought it a few weeks ago) which is a damn good game in it's own right (Especially in multiplayer), but to get real scared doom 3 does the job quite well. My recomendation would be that people with pace makers (*looks at Ken and waits for the back hand* ) should stay away from Doom 3, but if you have the ticker I highly recommend it. The atmosphere is just so unbelievable.

You won't be waiting long ... :pooh:
