This visually stunning reboot of an iconic franchise is a success on every level and not only reinvigorates an old classic but perhaps even the first-person shooter genre itself.

It’s strange to be this excited about the singleplayer portion of game from id Software, but here we are. While multiplayer doesn’t scratch the itch the way something like Quake Arena once did, the power of Snap Map puts the power to fix that entirely in the hands of intrepid and creative players. Doom has resurrected not only a series, but an entire flavor of shooters. Welcome back, unapologetic high-speed murder -- we missed you.

Way back in 1993 (Bill Clinton was President, Jurassic Park was released and Intel released the Pentium Microprocessor), a game called Doom was released which

DOOM is back on a Nintendo system for the first time since 1997 when DOOM 64 released. That’s pretty wild that it’s been 20 years! I was never a big fan of

Whilst the multiplayer is enjoyable enough, I do question its longevity due to the approach that Bethesda are taking with releasing a number of paid map packs over the coming months. I definitely think that there is some enjoyment to be had in the coming weeks, but I don’t know that its worth splashing out on the map packs, and I do question how long the game will remain populated in a very over saturated genre.

First released on the PC way back in 1993, id Software’s Doom was a true groundbreaker. While it wasn’t the first first-person shooter ever made, it did popularise the genre – so much so that for several years afterwards, FPS games were commonly known as “Doom clones”.

DOOM has a fantastic campaign but its multiplayer and Snapmap bring it down from absolute greatness.

The new DOOM is faster, more aggressive, more violent and more frantic than it has ever been in the past. Going back to the dynamic that made the franchise popular in the first place, its no-nonsense approach to killing horde after horde of horrible demons has to be applauded in the modern era of gaming that sometimes takes too long to get to the good stuff… the good stuff being, ripping the jaw off of a demons face after blasting its demon friend with a double barrelled shotgun and curb-st...
