	GameOver - Descent 3 (c) Interplay
		Descent as Doom pioneered the first-person-on-foot genre, Descent pioneered the first-person null-gravity genre, to which the likes of Terminal Velocity, Descent 2 and, more recently, Forsaken adhered.
		Descent 3, the latest incarnation of the original classic, has been awaited for a few years.
		One improvement that I like a LOT in Descent 3 is that you no longer have to (a) blow up the core and (b) escape the premises in pitch darkness in every mission.

	Gamasutra - Features -"Outrage’s Descent 3" [10.08.99]
		One year later, the sequel Descent II was released, which added another 30 levels to the mix and improved the game’s AI, thanks to the addition of the Guide-Bot and Thief-Bot.
		While Descent II was deemed a successful project, the process of trying to get teams located in two distant offices to work effectively together took a heavy toll on both teams.
		Descent I and II had the makings of a franchise for Interplay, and with any franchise, successful or otherwise, sequels are sure to follow.

	29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: the Scientific Case for Common Descent
		In evolutionary theory it thus entails common ancestry, descent with modification, speciation, the genealogical relatedness of all life, transformation of species, and large scale functional and structural changes of populations through time, all at or above the species level (Freeman and Herron 2004; Futuyma 1998; Ridley 1993).
		Common descent is a general descriptive theory that concerns the genetic origins of living organisms (though not the ultimate origin of life).
		Similarly, universal common descent is restricted to the biological patterns found in the Earth's biota; it does not attempt to explain the ultimate origin of life.

	On "The Descent"
		"The descent beckons / as the ascent beckoned.", says Williams at the beginning of his final phase, and he means by this a descent into memory, a descent into his own inner depths, wherein he finds compensation for the increasingly disturbing poverty of that which is revealed by the senses.
		Indeed, Williams began to display it more directly in his poetry than ever before, as he came to realize that the process of constructing answers to the problems posed by death and dissolution was itself the answer he was seeking.
		As a result, the problems they pose appear to have been dissolved, while Williams himself appears to have been elevated to a life of the spirit in which he is inwardly more secure than ever before.

	Descent 3 for PC Review - PC Descent 3 Review
		But a splinter group of the original team at Parallax, Outrage, has now released Descent 3, which improves in almost every conceivable way on its predecessors and reestablishes the series as the premier example of the play style it single-handedly pioneered.
		Plot has never been the series' long suit, and while Outrage has valiantly attempted to infuse this installment with a coherent narrative by including occasional radio chatter, detail-rich mission debriefings, and cutscenes starring what looks to be the original cast of the Thunderbirds, the entire tale is far from compelling.
		A huge online Descent community already exists and will surely enlarge with the release of this newest installment, so finding a suitable game should not be a problem.

	Acorn Arcade - Reviews: Commercial: Descent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Descent: take Doom; mix it with a flight sim, make sure there's plenty of explosions; that's it, in a nutshell.
		Skipping over the fact that Descent uses textured mapped polygons for almost everything and is in true 3D so that it's closer to Quake than Doom, Descent puts you in control over a kick-ass weapons platform that can move in all six axes of movement.
		Descent is a well designed game, skilfully executed; your weapons can affect your ship and the environment, lighting things up as they pass, pushing your ship around as you fire, even breaking bits of scenery.

	Mars Polar Lander Mars Descent Imager (MARDI) Descent Scenario
		If parachute descent takes longer than 85 seconds (more than 16 images), a sieving algorithm will be employed to control overwriting image storage memory in such a way as to preserve images that effectively sample the entire range of altitude.
		The total descent can take from as short as 70 seconds to as long as 180 seconds, depending on events that occur earlier in the entry and descent.
		Powered descent, using the hydrazine engines, can last up to 45 seconds, although virtually all simulation scenarios limit powered descent to a window between 32 and 38 seconds in duration.

		Descent groups are of basic significance in the social structure of most nonindustrial societies.
		They constitute a series of social groups that dominate the domestic organization and the process of socialization, the use and transfer of property, the settlement of disputes, religious activities such as ancestor worship, and certain political relationships.
		The Tiv of E Nigeria, for example, all consider themselves descendants in the male line of an eponymous ancestor, and the genealogy of this progeny defines the complete outline of descent group structure.

	CNN - Review: Descent 3 - August 5, 1999
		Descent's 360 degrees of nausea-inducing movement, level design emphasizing players' spatial-awareness skills, and killer AI made the game a looker and a fighter.
		Descent 3 doesn't really take Descent to the next level, but it adds enough to the old formula to make it very worthwhile.
		Descent 3 is pure action and unique combat at its best, with improved AI, some decent puzzles, and excellent level design to boot.

		Descent and Descent II required you to find access keys and destroy the reactor on each level.
		Descent 3 will generate a lot of interest simply on the wow factor -- it is visually impressive, fast-paced, and enthralling.
