DOOM 3 in the U.K.

[Aug 13, 2004, 11:55 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Long-awaited Doom 3 hits the UK is a BBC article announcing the availability of id's latest in the U.K. (thanks Mike Martinez). The article discusses the game, as well as the heightened level of sensitivity to violent games across the pond at the moment based on the recent murder that some are attempting to connect with Manhunt (story). In related news, MCV reports the possibility of shortages of the new release, quoting U.K. retailers complaining that they don't have sufficient stock to meet demand, while quoting Activision defending themselves by pointing out that retailers all over Europe are being screwed by high demand, and that U.K. retailers are not being singled out.

Actually I hope it does influence people to kill zombies. Last time I was in London the zombie population was clearly out of control. Every time I picked up a newspaper or a candy bar a zombie would spawn and try to bite my head off. It's terrible.

comedy gold right there people.

try to picture someone saying that in a serious tone, like being interviewed by the evening news or something.

DOOM3, i got my copy. what about you?
