Most games of today owe their success to a title that paved their path. Enjoy a nice round of Tekken? Bow down to Street Fighter II. Fancy a bit of platforming madness? Sacrifice at the altar of Mario. And when you have a hankering for all-night deathmatch sessions and playing user-created mods, direct your attention to Doom, the title from id Software that revolutionized all aspects of FPS games.

Wolfenstein 3-D is credited with creating the FPS genre, but Doom defined it by establishing mechanics and modes that gamers today sometimes take for granted. Join us for a whirlwind tour through Hell as we take a look at the features that made Doom -- and all FPS titles that followed -- so great. 19/10/08
