DOOM 3: RoE
The DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil Preview on Yahoo! Games Domain (thanks HomeLAN Fed) includes a couple of quotes from id's Marty Stratton and Matt Hooper about the upcoming DOOM 3 expansion: "We're keeping the dark, scary feel from the original. People that liked Doom 3 will like this."
Empire Earth II
GamersInfo's Empire Earth II Q&A offers a consultation with Dr. Ian Davis, the mad doc of Mad Doc software, about their upcoming RTS sequel: "There's a real subtlety to what's going on here. For instance, each region has its own set of powers and abilities, and civilizations have their own unique attributes, etc. -- these two converge to keep things fresh here. To some extent, we tried to factor in individual, unique historical events, etc. and have them add a general, broadstroke tone to the regions, civilizations, etc. At the same time, we looked at the most interesting historical pieces of each campaign, and we tried to play to that."

I'll be buying it. Say what you want about Doom 3's singleplayer, as it's no better or worse than anything else out there at the moment...but the game had some kick-ass enemies and great combat, as well as some of the best artistry and style I've seen in an action game since the first Max Payne. These days, it's all about presentation; there hasn't been an original shooter in years, with the exception of Postal 2, a game which mainstream gamers love to hate. Along with Battlefield 2, 2005 looks like it might be another good year for games.
