Doom 3 Reaches Gold Master, Due August 5th
Rogerpq3 writes "Yes, this is the official word that [long-awaited PC FPS] DOOM 3 has been code released and has been approved for manufacturing! According to the .plan file of id CEO Todd Hollenshead: 'We literally just hung up with Activision and have confirmed that our latest release candidate has been mutually approved and is finally GOLD. So, the next question is release dates. Retailers in the States will be allowed to pick up games starting at 12:01 AM on August 3rd. The official street date is actually August 5th in the U.S.A., but some of your favorite stores will probably have it early for those of you who have to have it first. Check with your local retailer for that information... [Internationally] the UK will probably get it first, on or about August 6th. Everywhere else will probably be Friday, August 13th (cue Twilight Zone Theme) or close to that date, with just a few exceptions (e.g. Russia and Poland)'."

But the weapons were kind of clever (pipe-bombs, shrink-rays, jetpacks), and the level design was kinda cool, and it was just fun to play.
Yeah, I know, I said it the last time too... Duke 3D had *soul*.
Duke had some of the best sayings as you ran around killing the LAPD pig-cops, using the bathroom to regain health (along with the "ahhhh..." sound effect). Not to mention the fish with the really big teeth. It was almost more of a comedy then an action game with the good sound effects and situations.
Level design was so simple as to be fun. A bit limiting, but that kept it simple.
