Good, but no System Shock 2.

My Doom 3 review went up over at ShackReviews this afternoon...here's an excerpt:

Not too long ago, I played a really scary game. It was played from a first person perspective and took place on a haunted space station inhabited by zombies, mutants and other creepy creatures, and was a truly terrifying experience.

That game was System Shock 2.

Doom 3 is many things, and at its best, it is indeed a little bit scary. But it’s hardly the scariest game I’ve ever played. It’s not even in the top three.

But really, who cares? id Software may not have created a game I wasn’t able to finish because of how freaked out I was (to date there’s only one game that can claim that: Thief: The Dark Project, and that’s just because of the zombies). But what they have done is crafted an exceptionally polished game that’s fun, and is easily the best looking game I’ve ever seen.

Read the whole thing over at teh Shack.

(P.S.: Yarr!)
