Doomed!

One of the things that I've seen several bloggers posting at one point or another is the old thing of 'where do bloggers find the time?' They have a point you know. Its harder then it seems!

Today was a pretty sweet day. Having done practically nothing but take it easy (to which there be a valid reason) there have been several good outcomes. First up I wanna talk about Doom 2. I noticed Doom 2 has been released on XBL. 800MSP too... I thought, I wont get that, but will download the trial to see if they've managed to sort out the rather naff controls from Doom 1. Sadly not, it's still a far cry from playing the PC counterparts.

Doom 2 has a rare ability/effect on me. It's the only game that I can think off that still scares the crap out of me. I've been playing Doom since I was at Primary School. I've played Doom 2 (my personal fav of the series to the n'th degree over and over again and I know the game pretty damn well; to the point that I know whats coming next, however, it will still scare the bejebers out of me)

However, back to the XBL version. There are 9 new maps in a BRAND NEW episode in all its pixely goodness.. 800MSP you say... I'm actually pretty stoked about the new content.... Doom 3 just didn't do it for me and I can only hope that Doom 4 hark backs to the old style form the 90's but I'm being optimistic... Hey, Megaman did it!!!
