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.

Today, id Software announced that they have started work on Doom 4, and they’re looking to hire some hungry new employees to help (Click here to apply). 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.
