Doom 3: BFG Edition (PS3) [Review]

When I heard they were remaking Doom 3, my first thought was, "Already!?" but then I realized the game had actually come out 8 years ago.  Maybe a re-release isn't such a crazy idea after all.  Doom 3 has always been a solid game that successfully married a survival horror aesthetic to classic Doom run and gun gameplay-- albeit with some polarizing design choices.  Players have argued about the game's flashlight (you couldn't use it and a gun at that same time, resulting in a lot of shooting into the darkness) and the game's reliance  on "monster closets" to dole out cheap scares.  Does Doom 3: BFG Edition fix these issues, and 8 years later does it still stand up with all of the advances that have been made in FPS design? Hit the jump and I'll let you know.

Hey You Should Play This #3: DoomRL

Everyone has played the original Doom, it's one of the greatest games of all time, a true classic. (And if yo haven't you can even play it in your browser here.)  Heck, whenever someone hacks (or jailbreaks) a device, one of the first things somebody does is put Doom on it, even stuff like calculators!  All those are the same classic FPS Doom though.  DoomRL answers the question, "Why not, instead of playing the same Doom on a different device, we played a different Doom on the same device?"
