Doom 3 delayed
I can't get myself immersed. I'm trying to get myself scared shitless, I really am, but I'm finding myself completely sangfroid and the entire scenario hard to believe. I don't think I've even jumped, which even Wolf3d pulled off a few times with a well placed SS guard.
I guess a large part of it is the lack of real plot development. They pretty much said [spoiler]oh here's the devil caged, oh whops, he's released [scream, scream][/spoiler]. Maybe it's also because I've only made it to the first autosave, but still, I expected much more. Maybe I'm just desensitized too? That, and after playing for a while, my FPS drops from 60 to about 2-3 until I restart the program. I don't see myself shelling any $$$ over for this game.

I got Doom 3 Tuesday at 12:01am complete with autographs from some of the ID Developers. It is an amazing game. The graphics are outstanding, so much so that I cant play with my house completely dark, I have to have at least one light on. I haven't even bothered to touch multiplayer yet, and might not, thats what I play UT2k4 and BF1942 for. I think it was more than worth 50 bucks.

I've completed the Alpha Labs portion on Veteran. I really like it, really getting into it. People are complaining about it being dark, but that's just part of the story IMO. Use the flashlight a lot. Hell, the place gets trashed by monsters and the lights go out. Seems logical to me.
This is definitely the most I've gotten into a new game in a while, probably since Diablo II.
