Doom 4: Killing Outside The Box

Years before anyone had thought about Grand Theft Auto, a little PC game called Doom had responsible parents seriously pissed off. With all due respect to Wolfenstein, the popularity of Doom has made it the blueprint for bloody first-person shooters since its release in 1993.

This got us thinking: for the new Doom, maybe they should step outside of the big-guns, bloody-aliens framework for a completely left-field take on the franchise. Doom fans have been creating their own versions of the game since its genesis, including a gang of mods like Star Wars Doom, South Park Doom and X-Files Doom.
