Not sure if this has been said yet but ID have announced that Doom will be making it's way to the Xbox. Should be good especially if you can use xbox live with it which I'm sure they'll do. Just in case anyone's confused I meant Doom 3 not the original which would be kinda of crap.

Hey, original DOOM on the Gameboy Adv is wicked!
Can't wait for UT Championship either

The only downer with XBox Live is I heard apparently it's going to be a subscription service, someline like £5 a month to use the Microsoft game servers

Posted some pics from it a few days ago. Work will start on XBOX version when PC version is complete.

Probably take Carmack a couple of weeks to do it!

Plus the XBOX version will be limited to TV resolution. Pro'lly 640x80 ?

Does the XBOX come with a mouse ?

Yeah that's the only problem with consoles is the TV factor, I remember buying Quake 3 for the dreamcast I bought the mouse and keyboard and thought there's no reason for it to be any different from the pc versio. Of course when I played it I realised how difficult it was to see distant playes and so kept getting killed. Although saying all that Xbox also supports High def TV's so I'm sure if you get one of those babies you'll be fine.
