So I just went and pre-ordered myself the upcoming Doom 3 BFG Edition, despite the fact I've had the PC original since it's release in '04. The same applies for it's expansion, Resurrection of Evil. Oh, and did I mention that I also have Doom 3 and RoE on the Xbox? And the fact that I've beaten both games countless times on either platform? And who could forget the fact that the BFG Edition is also going to contain both Doom and Doom II...If you've been following me on GameSpot for some time, you'll know that I'm a crazy old-school Doom fanatic and own all original Doom titles - Doom, Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Master Levels for Doom II and Final Doom - across countless different systems.

Yep, I have had an unhealthy obsession with the entire Doom franchise ever since I first had the opportunity to play it God knows how many years ago, and it's quite pathetic to say the least. I need my Doom fix every month, and I usually don't have a preference as to which game in the series I play. I think the title to this blog post is pretty suitable.

So yeah, what I'm trying to say is that this fanboy seriously can't wait for Doom 3 BFG Edition. Let's be honest, there isn't much NEW content other than that new chapter titled The Lost Mission, and I know this...but I don't care! Doom 3 has aged incredibly well in my eyes (was I really going to say it hasn't!?), and I'm psyched for a tweaked, HD version a definitive edition if you will. Heh, maybe the title Ultimate Doom 3 would have been more suitable, as a reference to The Ultimate Doom from 1995.

If you wanted to know (which you probably didn't, but hey, I'm going to share it anyway), I pre-ordered the PS3 version. This may seem a little controversial, maybe even hypocritical coming from a PC gamer, but I just want to see the game in action on my Sony HD TV. Besides, I'd prefer to have another version of Doom 3 on a platform I haven't already played it on, so it makes perfect sense really. Sort of. Plus, I have faith that the PS3 version will be pretty competent given that Doom 3 was originally released in '04.

This annoying Doom fanboy needs more Doom!
