Award-winning Writer Takes the Lead on Doom 4

Continuing our discussion from yesterday, 1UP reports that Graham Joyce has agreed to write the story for Doom 4. For those unfamiliar with his work, Joyce is a British author who has received many awards, including the British Fantasy Award, Imaginaire Award and the World Fantasy Award. Did I mention that he's British? 1UP wonders how much potential there is for an FPS about a lone space marine fighting the denizens of hell, but it worked okay at the end of Alien and Predator.

For a gaming example, SXSW will have the Deep Focus marketing folks scheduled to discuss their plan for EA's Dead Space, which involved such story-building elements as a comic book and prequel DVD.
