The trailer shows off a new gravity gun (originally planned for DOOM 3 proper but left out of the final version) and some new baddies. DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil continues the terrifying and intense action of the already classic DOOM 3, which Maxim and Computer Gaming World awarded "five out of five stars" and the Associated Press called "one of the scariest games ever made." Through the discovery of a timeless and evil artifact you now hold the powers of Hell in your hands, and the demons have come to hunt you down and take it back. Following the events of DOOM 3 and featuring new locations, characters and weapons, including the return of the double-barreled shotgun, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil expands the terrifying action that fans and critics have been raving about. The title will require the full retail version of DOOM 3, and has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

IGNIQ are looking at organizing a Counter-Strike or Day of Defeat gaming party in Dublin for a Friday or Saturday next month. Right-Click, on Lower Camden St. caters for all-night Counter-Strike sessions for parties of ten or more players @ €13 each, and we will probably go with them if we get enough players. We obviously want to make sure we can make up the numbers before we book, so if you'd be interested in joining us for the weekend of (probably) 18/19 March, please post into the discussion link. N.B.: You don't need to be a member of this website to join the party - we're interested in joining up with and making friends with other gamers in Dublin, so the only requirements will be the €13 and your transport into the city centre.

 DevMaster.net has an article by Brad Jashinsky (of New World Video Games) comparing the DOOM 3 and Source gaming engines.Source scores on most of his points, making it his pick as the best overall game-making engine, while DOOM's engine is superior in the graphics department: Joking aside, it's pretty obvious that for making a game the Source Engine is the obvious pick. If I wanted to make a graphics demo or even a CG movie I would probably pick the Doom 3 Engine. The Doom 3 Engine's only advantage is the in the graphics department, which won't make a complete or even a good game. The Source Engine is the complete package and its only competition for graphics is Far Cry and Doom 3. Combining the two engines would be a dream of mine and pretty much any other game developer out there. DevMaster.net - Source Engine vs Doom 3 EngineDiscussion >> By Rob

 Players of the futuristic multiplayer game (MMORPG) "Anarchy Online" will soon face in-game advertisements from 3rd party products.
Personally i would have thought that people spending less time watching television was healthy, but i guess that doesn't go down too well with these advertisers. I like the way the CEO of Anarchy-online says: We know that most gamers want in-game advertisement to heighten the sense of realism As if it's somehow about keeping the customer satisfied, as opposed to just another way of making more money. The emptiness in his statement makes my ears bleed! I don't want to see any freakin' in-game advertisements in online games that i play. If Valve ever brought in-game ads into Day of Defeat: Source or Counter Strike: Source, i would shelve them in a heart-beat. I don't know how the rest of you feel about this but i detest the idea of people trying to hawk there cheesy ware on a game that has little or nothing at all to do with their product.

 kotaku links to a creepy viral marketing video for Atari's Act of War, depicting an airborne attack on the British Parliament.Though the plane in the video appears to be a stealth fighter, the footage is very reminiscent of the 11 September attacks, and it feels like a very cheap shock tactic to promote a game. how-safe-are-we.com Discussion >> By Rob
