Why not be a great leader and take your army into battle for Middle-Earth. Or choose an evil campaign and try thwart your enemies attempts to regain it. This 3d strategy adventure features voice overs from real cast members of the epic trilogy and promises to be a real treat for those who wish more to direct a campaign rather than follow a pre-designed battle...

ATI have made available new beta drivers for their next Catalyst release to help people increase performance while playing Doom III with a Radeon graphics card. So if you are looking for some potential performance gains in Doom 3 then these drivers might be the ticket. Do remember however, that as with any beta release, these drivers are unsupported by ATI and are not recommended to be used in a mission critical enviornment....(i will be trying them out myself)


Grab them from ATI

Doom 3 Screenshot

Hour 21: Nerves rattled, I'm physically and emotionally spent, but I'm done playing the most intense experience in gaming. While I'm not a big fan of being locked in a dark Altered States-like room at Activision's offices to prevent game piracy, it was worth the effort just to have bragging rights for playing Id's newest creation early. Yes, Doom III is finally here, so let's get to the big question first:
Is it as good as all the hype would have you believe?"

Half-Life 2 logoAn article about the theft of the Half Life 2 source code last year; an appeal to fans of the game helped Valve and the police to track down the hackers who gained access to Valve's network and remained undetected for months.

Gabe Newell (Valve CEO):

The second investigation was run by the gaming community. Fairly quickly after the source code was leaked, we sent out mail to the gaming community appealing for assistance in tracking down the perpetrators. We set up an email alias for people to submit information, and amassed thousands of pieces of evidence in a few days. That information was also redistributed within the community itself, as a smaller group took it upon itself to unmask the people. This non-traditional approach had the advantage of scale and of involving a large number of very sophisticated and motivated people.

ilovebees.com

As reported recently on IGNIQ, the countdown begun on the www.ilovebees.com website continues, but some of the pages have been updated with more bizarre garbled text and threatening messages:

SURPRISE!

Look up and smile, honey.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!

I was looking at your site a little awry
and have found an innocent bystander.
Can you (?)
Got the drop on you that time, sweetheart.

Opening shot of my search and destroy. I'm going to know everything about you. Where you live and what you buy, how you think and who you love. Know the enemy.

Young and out of uniform,

This is aimed at one of the owners of the site, who has responded with this message:

"It saw me. It knows me now.

— seen and skinned. I'm sorry. I'm out.

I dragged you into this. Yes. But forget about it. It's over.

I don’t want www.ilovebees.com to be my problem anymore.

I don't want it to be your problem either. (And you can stop trying to hack into my email, voicemail, and web site... good grief.)

Tsi Tian, everyone. Thanks for the help and support.

I'm done."

www.ilovebees.com has been at the centre of speculation since the URL appeared at the end of the theatrical trailer for Halo 2 on the XBox.

Nearly two years after the infamous Doom 3 Alpha leak, Doom 3 the full game has already made it onto the internet 2 days before it's official unveiling via peer-2-peer networks. This must be a huge blow for Id as i am receiving estimates of one hundred thousand people downloading the game already and it has only surfaced. Who knows how many people will be getting it when word of mouth really kicks in...

I recently acquired this weapons sound mod from a friend (Dean). It changes the noise of all the guns and certain reactions from players in battle. The sounds are more like the guns from Medal of Honour and it makes for a much more raw and realistic experience. If you play Day of Defeat and are looking for change, i would highly recommend this pack as it feels like you are playing an entirely new game.

This is a Dod addition you DON'T want to miss !
