While diehard Doom fans await a fourth installment, Bethesda Softworks is giving gamers a refresher course in the seminal first-person shooter series this fall with the Doom 3 BFG Edition.

Set for release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, the BFG Edition will include 2004's DOOM3, the following year's expansion pack DOOM3 : Resurrection of Evil, and a new seven-level single-player campaign titled "The Lost Mission." If that's not enough Doom, the package also includes playable versions of the original DOOM and DOOM II. In addition, Bethesda says the game will feature enhanced visuals, 5.1 surround sound, stereoscopic 3D support, and head-mounted displays.

The changes being made to Doom 3 for the BFG Edition are going beyond cosmetic and into the realm of gameplay. For example, the original Doom 3 featured a flashlight to help players navigate the dark levels, but it couldn't be used at the same time as a weapon. In the BFG Edition, the flashlight will be "armor-mounted," so players won't have to sacrifice firepower in order to get a good look at their surroundings. In addition, the game will feature a new checkpoint save system "allowing for smoother progression through the game."

I should admit that I never played DOOM 3, but I do love the first 2 so I'm looking forward to playing those again and having a go at DOOM 3.

I reckon I'm gonna spend the next 6 months playing re-releases!

Starting with 4 Ratchet & Clanks, these DOOM games and I've only recently bought the Jak & Daxter Collection.

Yeah i really liked Doom 3, but it defintley deserves the criticism for being too dark, it worked well not being able to see the enemy, but it became a pain when i'd get stuck in stairwell becauses you cant see where you are going. But its still a great experience.

Im loving the re-releases, ive still got multiple play throughs to go for MGS2, the last Sly cooper and Jak 3 games to platinum, aswell as SH3, and im only up to 2nd game on the Tomb Raider collection, so when theres a lull in releases i go back to the classics and polish them off.
