A good read.
Also, benchmarks sites have received a preview version of Doom 3 for them to test the Geforce FX 5900 on.

Good read. "now PC-only Doom III." So they are not puting it on X-Box?

Man, that article exceeded its error quota in the first 2 paragraphs.

Read that as "for-now PC-only". There won't be a console release just yet.

Well written, but nothing new as far as I know.

But now, players carry a personal digital assistant that, as they move through the world, downloads information from other people's PDAs. ''Through their e-mail and through their messages, the player can learn about the invasion and the research,'' Willits says.

Sounds pretty cool.

Doom III's monsters also will move more like those on the big screen, says artist/animator Fred Nilsson, 28, who previously worked for DreamWorks on the hit movies Antz and Shrek. He shows how the shadow of a spiderlike monster is created in real time and shows up only when a player stumbles into its area. ''There should be a lot of good, scary moments like that,'' he says.

Well, I guess it's official that either the arachnotron or the spidermastermind will make a comeback :)

Or the imp, since it likes to crawl around.
