Years ago I had picked up this awesome little game called Wolfenstein:  The New Order.  I loved it so much I played through it three times back to back to back.  In fact, it was the first game I ever got a platinum trophy in...  That is all well and good, but that is not what I came here to say.  Tucked inside the case was a code for the DOOM beta, I redeemed the code for kicks and thought nothing more of it.  

Well, the time has come and the DOOM beta starts in a couple of days.  For the first time in my life, I am thinking of participating.  Betas have never really appealed to me in the past, but this one has at least one draw for me.  I am excited for DOOM, but have little interest in the multiplayer.  I enjoy multiplayer games every once in a while, but usually they are developed by Bungie.  For me, the big draw for DOOM is the single-player campaign, but I want a taste of how the game feels and controls.  So that is why I am looking forward to jumping into the beta.  I don't necessarily seeing a demo coming out, those seem to be a relic of the past.  The beta seems to be my best option.  We will see if I have time to test it out and I will come back with impressions next week.

In other news, I have yet to pull up my Xbox from the basement for Half-Life 2.  CrimsonLand is still sucking too much of my time.  Especially since I was just trophy hunting and I think I have gotten all the ones that I am able to acheive.  My younger brother was over this weekend and beat Firewatch in one sitting.  I think he said he liked it.
