ZOMG! Doom RPG gets sequel
I tried so hard to get a copy of Doom RPG on my mobile, but to no avail. When news of a sequel for Doom RPG was announced in this year’s QuakeCon, I didn’t know if I was going to jump for joy or hit my head on the hardest surface I could find.

Romero proceeded to point out his standouts, but I’ll provide my own.
un17: Sounds like a rip-off of Slayer’s South of Heaven.
un30: This is a bit too different compared to Doom’s other tracks. Funky beat is like a breath of fresh air though.
un09: The synthetic double-bass drumbeats …read more
