Doom is an iconic franchise, and also happens to be my all time favorite game. The original Doom and Doom II are legendary games, and in many cases still trump modern day shooters in many ways, but there are many reasons why a game from 1993 is still considered by many as the best first person shooter ever.

Doom was great for its time but now I think games have surpassed it. The levels were all too similar and being able to aim at enemies above or below would have helped. I am glad Doom came along and paved the road for other games. But for me, Unreal, Quake, and Counter Strike will be the kings.

I hope Doom 4 is better than Doom 3. I would like a re-envisioning of the original. Doom 3 was not bad, but it did not feel like Doom. Give me a high tech castle with demons to shoot. One of my other old favorite was Duke Nukem, but we won't even mention what happened there.
for me Half-Life for some reason.
