I wasn't paying attention but apparently Fatal posted right here that Illdo wrote a review for Hellcore, which you can read right here. Note that this review is for the original Hellcore and not the re-released Hellcore 2.0. If you want the wads you can grab Hellcore and Hellcore 2.0 thanks to /id games!

Nemesis found a youtube video for a Doom TC that is called Doom Caribbean: Life's a Beach which is based on the Duke Nukem addon of the same name (Duke Caribbean: Life's a Beach).Also a sun burned Cyberdemon! I guess it's worth a look.... I have no idea who made the TC or where you can get it.

The Ruiner site was updated with a progress report and three new screenshots.Thanks to real life and spending the extra time to improve the visuals of the mod, a spring or summer 2008 release is very realistic and achievable. After all the modeling has been finished, expect to start seeing a far more amount of news and media about the mod, including the long overdue trailer. Hit The Ruiner site for more info and such.

Karthik has delivered on his word that he would release a map on the weekend. It just turns out that I'm late noticing.... my bad. Anyhow here is Dark Fate 2, a short Doom 2 map. Also Karthik released a commentary video on the map, so check that out too.I also made what I call a "commentary video" for the level. This is like Director's Commentaries which you find on DVDs — the video has me playing through Dark Fate 2 on my laptop and talking about it. Hit karthik82 for that stuff.

Murph released an updated version (v6.uu) of the Allied Marine Squadmates mod for Doom 3 that was originally developed by Altroth Akenzie. After many custom alterations, repairs and attempts at getting them just right, I am very happy to say, the Squadmates are back with a vengence! With all of the major bugs repaired, the "Squadmates v.6uu" are more stable and fun to use now! This new mod adds 12 much needed upgrades and has a *Bonus Mini-Mod!... I took this oppurtunity to build some new styles of Marines and added them to the now extended "Allied Marine Squadmates v.6uu" family! There are the Marines of the "Hybrid Elite: Team" who come on board with a new "Team" weapon and also the Marines of "Bravo Team - Melee Warriors" ready for some real action packed fun! So if you need or want some backup during Doom 3, then check on this mod thanks to Doom 3 Files.

Here is a shotgun mod that is called Uber Shoti which gives you a under and over shotgun that can be fired twice thus allowing four shots before reload, plus it has a skinned black leather grip.Once you have installed this Mod, you'll notice a new, mean looking weapon in your hands...your double-barrel shotgun will act like an over-and-under double-barrel shotgun; In short, this Mod will allow you to fire twice before needing to reload! Effectively doubling your damage potential! Yep Doom 3 Files!

Category: DOOM |
Apparently this Hellgate map has been around for awhile but is new to Doom 3 Files and I checked our news archive and don't see it mentioned anywhere, so I'm doing so now. The map is made for singleplayer in Doom 3 and is designed by Tombery.The story of this map is somewhat unique, you are traveling to an unknown destination when you happen across a rather large drifting space faring vessel; You investigate the apparent ghost ship to determine the reason behind the missing crew members, and find what Hellgate is all about... Hit Doom 3 Files for that Hellgate level.

I didn't notice this Zombie Slayer mod before (or my memory chip is failing) but apparently it found it's way into the latest PC Gamer 'Zombie' edition of the mag. Thing is, BHenderson was on the verge of canceling work on the mod after the first demo was released and now it looks like he is back into working on it. By the way, he is looking for help with the site design.... so maybe somebody is willing? Anyhow go visit Zombie Slayer and grab the demo if you haven't already.
