When will we see Doom III online reviews?

[Seppo]

When do well known gaming sites like Gamespy or IGN.com usually review games? Like do they give reviews before or after a game is released? I thought the net would be swarming with Doom III reviews by now. Guess the PC Gamer's review really was a world exclusive, and the next reviews will see the light of day after the game is released.

not sure about the others, but IGN usually doesn't do reviews until they can get their hands on an actual retail store copy of the game that is the same thing the custom would take home. very rarely have i seen them review a pre-release version of a game.

Usually most come out about the same time as the retail versions. Sometimes Gamespy has an exclusive a day or 2 before. But it will probably be around the 3rd when it ships.

http://www.telefragged.com/reviews/doom3/ that review. The system is played on a Athlon XP 3200+, 1GB DDR memory, and a Radeon 9800 non-Pro 128MB. Omg, it looks really great man. So you dont need a monster pc at all.

Hmm though i think the differences between the 9800 pro 128mb and 9800pro 256mb are minimum.

people are worried their graphics cards and stuff. i have a Geforce 6800 Ultra. Which should run it full whack at High Details. however this isn;t the case the game slows alot mainly because of the lack of RAM in my system. i only hvae 512 so i cn;t really go past High 800x400 otherwise there are a few drops in frames

The only one I will trust is Gamespot's review, PC gamer is just a crappy Pc mag with really crappy reviews.
