Is it as creepy as System Shock 2?

I'm actually quite bored of this game already. Just doesn't
excite me. However Counter Strike does!

i'm looking forward to the new counterstrike too.

playing CS on the silicon graphics workstations at school
during summer was the best thing about the year 2000.

If you've got Counterstrike: Condition Zero then later this
month you'll be able to get the Beta of Counterstrike :
Source which uses the HL2 engine. Be a good tester for how
my computer copes with HL2. Although it rips through Doom 3
so it should do fine:D

UPDATE:

I got so bored with Doom III I uninstalled it. My previous
excitement has not lasted. This game is boring.

Shame. It could've been so good. Maybe I'll try it again
some day,

Wow, hehe, you dislike it that much? I finally got to play
it today, I don't think it's boring... but it's definitely
disapointing. It's a great game, but not a Game of the Year
candidate, it just looks like one. I didn't play it on high
or ultra, and it still looked incredible.

It doesn't take long before it gets really repetitive, and
it's too long... I haven't beaten it, but I hear it's a 20
hour game... that's way too much time for such a shallow
gameplay experience. I can only strafe around so many
fireballs before I get bored, y'know. And I can hardly
tolerate the flashlight system. It's unrealistic and clunky,
and only adds to the tension for so long before it's just a
pain in the ass. But there's a mod for that, I'll definitely
be using it when I get this game, and a nice PC (please,
Santa).

I'm very excited at the prospect of deeper games being built
upon this Doom 3 engine... going to be some amazing stuff.
I'd love to play a Deus Ex game that utilizes this
technology... the possibilities.

I do like the direction they took with it... people are
criticizing it for not being more like the first 2 Dooms,
dead cadaver sprites stacked 5 deep... which is stupid. They
did craft an amazing atmosphere and environment, and did
some great things with it. Actually, it sort of reminds me
of a survival horror game, played from a first person
perspective.

It's an awesome game despite the flaws... I just like to
pick apart and overanalyze games because I take them too
seriously. Gamespot's review hit the nail directly on the
head. I think it'll be one of the best 10 games of the year,
but if it hypes itself on year end lists over truly maniacal
games like Ninja Gaiden, I'm going to be pretty annoyed.

And yeah, Silent Hill 4 is going to be scariest thing
released this year... I've got a good feeling deep inside...
I can hardly believe how phenomenal some of the Yamaoka
music is in the trailers I've watched. Better than ever.

True about the length.

Action games really should only take a few days to beat. A
few sittings to get the hang of it, then you should be able
to beat the whole thing from start to finish in about 6-8
hours or so. More like old Nintendo games. Fuck saving!
