The early Doom games were already included with the Doom 3 expansion back in 2005, and have been available for a long time on XBLA, so a lot hangs on how much you value the overhauled graphics, multiplayer and all-new mission that BFG Edition serves up for Doom 3 fans. For a budget price, you get a disc containing the first two Doom games, as previously released on Xbox LIVEArcade, as well as a new version of Doom 3, which has been made over in HD with support for stereoscopic 3D, and includes the 2005 Resurrection of Evil expansion, yet even adds a brand new mission and variety of multiplayer modes into the bargain.

To celebrate two decades of blasting Cyberdemons to smithereens, id Software have teamed up with new buddies Bethseda to present something of an ultimate package for connoisseurs of the series. The plot running through all of the Doom games which (like horror classic The Fly) teaches us that messing around with teleportation never seems to end well, tells the tale of how an attempt to create a teleport link between Phobos and Deimos ends up going horribly wrong, unleashing the nightmarish denizens of Hell, possessing humans into the bargain, turning them into bloodthirsty demonic space zombies.

It was that important a release, and one which changed the way we play and think about games forever.Īs well as the numerous clones, mods and rip-offs that ensued, and of course the similarly influential Quake series that Romero and id went on to create, Doom received its own sequels, continuing the story of protagonist Doom Guy – as he was affectionately known – kicking some Satan-spawn ass all up in Phobos and other space locales, and even on a nightmarish, demon-seed infested Earth.

Without Doom, you wonder what direction the games industry would have taken.

The sense of immersion that the viewpoint and the creepy enemies created was also a big influence on the Sci-Fi horror genre that has been taken to wild, underpant filling frightening extremes in titles like Dead Space and Bioshock. Building upon the success of their clunky Nazi killing First Person Shooter Wolfenstein 3D, Romero and id Software transplanted the action to Mars, added some unsettling Satanic monstrosities, and pioneered not only networked multiplayer, but also the kind of meat-headed space marine style aesthetics that are seen so often in today’s games like Gears of War or even Halo. And while John Romero hasn’t exactly made the gaming industry his bitch in the ensuing years, he certainly changed its landscape forever when he designed the seminal 1993 shooter, which would help to popularise the FPS genre, and make terms like “Deathmatch” a familiar part of the video game lexicon.
