Always been fond of the DOOM series, cos that was what really jump started the FPS genre (not forgetting the granddaddy WOLF3D of course!), I remember spending countless hours on my old 486 shooting imps, cacodemons and those goat headed thingys. :p
Doom II was a slight update to the original, different enemies like the annoying revenant, and updates like the double barrelled shotgun. Then Doom 3 came along. When it was released, it was buggy as hell, and the graphics power needed to run it was crazy, but when it was running, it was glorious fun albeit rather dark.
Come this October, a new version call 'Doom 3 - BFG edition' will be released, it's been over 7-8 years already? I wonder if i'll still be creeped out by the lil' baby demons! There'll be news missions again, and an update in gfx (i hope), it better be at a budget price though! :P
Yeah can't wait for this reboot of Doom ! Been playing the classic Doom I and II and it's a blast in all it's 16 bit glory !
