IGN writes: "Like the Xbox Live Arcade versions of Doom and Wolfenstein 3D before it, Doom II is a blast from the past that remains fun today. The entire package is terribly dated, but running around blasting demons into splatters of pixelated blood is quite satisfying. Unlike many retro offerings on XBLA, the visuals haven't been tampered with here".
BLG writes, "Plug in your electric guitars and start shredding; we’re making a list of the DOOM games ranked.
Trying to decide the best DOOM game is like deciding who your favorite child is. You love every one of them, imperfections and all."
For the first time since 1994, John Romero has given DOOM II fans a new level. The level is a product to provide support to Ukraine. 100% of the proceeds from the level will go to Red Cross and the UN Central Emergency Response Fund.
Actions that are actually doing something to help. That's really cool. Refreshing to see this after the armies of companies do their grandstanding me-too do-nothing support message online for all to see.
Acclaimed creator John Romero took to Twitter today to announce that he has created a new level for Doom II, and it’s a special one.
honestly this still could be my favorite game of all time...still have the DOS CDrom, original box, and Ed Dille strategy guide that i got for Christmas in '94...I was 11...
at 27 years old now...there are few things from my child hood that I recall giving me as much excitement as the first couple minutes of that game...I to this day remember slinging a bfg glob from the platform in the first level (i was 11, of course I idkfa'd that shat as soon as it loaded)...with 3 zombies all getting puddled...the look on my face must have been priceless...my dad to this day still asks me if any games make me react like that anymore...if any have, I didn't catch it on my own...
Really?...while it may have been a super kickass game twenty years ago but c'mon!..IGN is a joke!
