Some new gaming goodness

So last week I bought Doom 3 and Quake 4. I’ve finally got around to playing them.

I played Doom3 back when it was released but that was borrowed from a friend, now I have my own copy. I won’t bother reviewing it or anything. It’s pretty much what everyone else says it is. I downloaded OpenCoop 1.1 and have been playing through it with Shadow. Doom3 is a million times more fun with another player. There’s always someone to hold the flashlight!
I also got the RoE expansion pack to see what kind of stuff it has, but I’d like to finish OpenCoop D3 with Shadow first.

I’ve been having an absolute blast with Quake 4. It’s really too bad I waited so long to play it. People have said it’s “boring” or “too linear”. I don’t find it boring at all. I really like the outside-ness of most of the game. Doom3 had good graphics and all, but it was wasted jammed into tiny corridors. Quake 4 let’s you go outside, and best of all, there is light! About it being linear, I don’t mind. I don’t like wondering where to go. Ever.

I’ll probably play a bit of each online just to see what it’s like.
