Anyone not excited about a new Doom title is really just a sour puss. Since the original, three-episode shooter, any sequel or update has made me jump for joy. This time is no exception.

Doom Resurrection is an iPhone game that debuts next week from id Software. It’ll feature lots of downsampled graphics from Doom 3, great controls and a few other surprises. John Carmack says he “loves the iPhone” and calls it a “real game platform.” Good to know, Johnny. Resurrection sports eight-levels of fury and an improved aiming system, ensuring that the game runs at a smooth 30 fps the entire time. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some Cacodemons to attend to.

You must be saying to yourself, “Surely, Gearfuse, you must be mistaken! There’s no way the full and unedited game of Wolfenstein could be available on my iPhone!” Well, it is and it has been released for all jailbroken iPhones and iPod Touches. We’re talking a full port here. Not some half-assed ripoff.

You’ve wondered when Nazi-killing would be possible from the comfort of your portable touch Apple devices, and now it is. As long as you don’t mind the 1992 graphics, which are totally classic anyway, than you’ll be on your way. Word has it that Doom is on its way as well.

iPhone developer Steven Troughton-Smith updated his iPhone port of Doom to not only take advantage of the iPhone’s TV-out features but also utilize its touchscreen as an interface for the game. Why he decided to display the game on an old monochrome Apple II monitor is beyond me. We get it, Steven: you love Apple.

For now, there are no plans for adding TV-out to the public Doom build for the iPhone, although Steven says that he’s open to investigating the possibility. We just wanted to show you in order to get your hopes up and maybe encourage you to drop Steven a line persuading him to do what we all know is right.

Have you got a death wish? Much like Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom, you can prepare to meet Kali in Hell while risking your life to cross this bridge. It’s a long way down, so it’s best to keep your eyes on the prize. The prize being arriving on the other side safe and sound.

While crossing, don’t worry about dropping any Sankara stones you picked up during your travels. They will be found! You won’t!
