  6. Quake (1996: Windows) – Review

    Before reading my review, I would like to outline the criteria I use for video game reviews.  Today’s review will focus on one of id Software’s finest games, the original Quake! Along with the original Doom (1993: MS-DOS), Quake is another pioneer of not only the first-person shooter genre, but gaming as a whole. Amazing games like Doom (1993), Wolfenstein 3D (1992: MS-DOS), and Duke Nukem 3D (1996: MS-DOS) are impressive, but Quake blows them all out in the technical and graphical […]

  14. Doom 3 (2004: Windows) – Review

    Well, well, well. It appears I have finally returned to reviewing a game in my favorite video game franchise. Today's review will focus on Doom 3, which many considered the black sheep of the Doom franchise. Of course, everyone knows during its heyday (and admittedly over the last decade) that Doom was considered the trendsetter for FPS games. Activision published Doom 3 in 2004, the same year as the original Far Cry (2004: Windows) and Half-Life 2 (2004: Windows), and a year after the […]
