Well said and I agree. Having a ton of fun with Doom 3 and am replaying 
levels just to see what I missed, like not listening to all the video files 
on the PDA. I find that I have to check the PDA more since at first run 
through on a level I am missing a lot of goodies. Great game and I play it 
for an hour or so and love going through it the lazy way as well.
