Quake 4: Last week Activision released Quake 4 for us gaming geek. More here!
Doom 3 Free Demo Download:

mission.

Long-awaited
'Doom 3' begins onslaught at 12 a.m. Tuesday:
There aren't a lot of people who get excited about
impending doom — unless it's Doom, the top-selling
computer game.
The long-awaited Version 3 descends tonight,
and its arrival, along with a few other top games this
fall, is expected to juice up the gaming industry. (Related
story: Doom 3 could be groundbreaking — like its
predecessors)
Best Buy stores in Plano, Texas; Richfield, Minn.; New
York; Los Angeles; Sterling, Va.; and White Marsh, Md.,
are hosting exclusive midnight sales events Monday night,
and other retailers follow throughout the week.
Initial shipments ($54.99; rated mature, for ages 17
and older) of the PC game could approach 1 million; total
sales of at least 4 million are expected. That's way beyond
sales for a typical PC game but short of all-time best
seller The Sims (more than 8 million). A version for the
Microsoft Xbox is due later this year.
It took nearly four years for the second follow-up to
the 1993 first-person shooting classic to reach stores.
"Doom 3 is a sure-fire hit," says analyst David
Cole of research firm DFC Intelligence.
That's good news for a slumping industry; PC game sales
last year dropped to $1.2 billion from $1.4 billion in
2001 and 2002. Computer makers and graphics card companies
also stand to benefit as gamers trade up or upgrade systems
so the game looks better.
More long-awaited video-game titles are coming this fall:
•Halo 2 (Microsoft/Bungie, Nov. 9). A sequel to
the space combat best seller for the Xbox video game system.
•Half-Life 2 (Vivendi/Valve Software, no final
date announced). Expected to rival Doom 3 for top PC title
of 2004. The 1998 original sold more than 8 million worldwide.
•Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Take Two/Rockstar
Games, October). This installment in the free-form drive-by
gangster series is for Sony PlayStation 2.
Doom 3 is a far cry from the original, in which gamers
traveled through corridors stocked with monsters that,
when dispatched with various weapons, exploded in chunks
of cartoonish blood. (The game was cited in congressional
hearings on game violence.)
The new game is more realistic — and intense. Says
id Software technical director John Carmack: "We
can rely on more subtle levels of light and create moods,
film director-style." Source: USAtoday.com
Activision,
Id Set Summer Launch for 'Doom 3': Video game publisher Activision Inc. and games developer
id Software on Tuesday said that the highly anticipated
game "Doom 3" will be released this summer.
"Doom 3," which was previewed during the E3
video game industry trade show two years ago, will be
released for personal computers this summer. An Xbox version
of the game is also expected this year.
The two companies made the announcement during the E3
show in Los Angeles.
Fans have awaited the release of the game for years,
given the long and successful history of titles like "Doom"
and "Quake" from id, whose top games designer
John Carmack is considered a legend in his field. Carmack
also designed "Doom 3."
Last week, Activision said that for financial planning
purposes it was assuming the game would be released in
the quarter ending in September, though it cautioned that
final control of the release was out of its hands.
In the past, when asked when the game would be out, id
officials have said only "when it's done."
In a statement, the two companies said that "Doom
3" would be released "this summer," but
gave no specific date.
