Doom Resurrection Debuts Next Week

doomres

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.

R.I.P. Captain America dead at 66

Known for protecting America against the Germans in WWII, and the Russians and Cubans during the Cold War, Captain America, famed and beloved comic book hero, is said to have passed away in the pages of his newest comic which hit shelves today. Captain America’s death is the result of sniper fire as he is leaving a court house.

A resurrection is possible in Captain America’s future, as has been seen with Superman in the past. Captain America’s powers came from “Super Soldier Serum” which was injected into Steve Rogers, his previous scrawny art student persona. The story of Captain America’s life will be seen documented in the planned movie from Marvel Comics. Come back soon, Captain America. We need you! — Andrew Dobrow
