[quote name='2poor']i would say DOOM 3 is a lot scarier than RE4, but RE4 isn't a run and gun type of game.[/QUOTE]
Well, RE4 really isn't scary, it's just such revolutionary game that makes your jaw drop when you fight certain boss, etc. Grahpically it's just awesome..... for a console such as gamecube.
On the other hand, I have not yet seen DOOM3 on Xbox, but if are talking about pc version, D3 did not impress me at all. grahpics is good, but game play is far behind it's competitor such as Half Life 2. Without some nice patches, you will be finding yoursself in a very dark enviornment, walk by every corner and there is a zombie, they poppin' up so frequently it's not even funny. Maybe that's their idea of a scary game.
I would say get RE4, if you have no preference between FPS/soemwhat 3rd person adventure game. RE4 stands out more, while D3 is just a pretty fps games.
