Playing DOOM is like controlling the end of a really vicious heavy metal performance. The band are going hell for leather, you can feel the adrenaline exuding from every pour, and the music itself is a grinding, metallic, beautiful cacophony of emotional fury.

DOOM is all of that, wrapped into a FPS campaign that easily sits up there with the likes of Halo, Modern Warfare and Bioshock.
