Perfected Doom 3

Mod review

What can we say about this mod that has not been said before in other reviews? This mod, dedicated to the game of Doom 3, is perhaps one of the best mods I have come across to. This mod has added so many new features that perhaps its gonna be taking a while to describe them all. I shall point out several things that I came across this mod.

-Story: The same as the original Doom 3, not a big deal right there.

-Gameplay: Now this is the kicker. This mod has focused on a massive gameplay overhaul that has literally changed the way Doom 3 has been played so far. Forget about running and gunning down enemies that were doing negative damage to you, able to tank thousands of bullets, fireballs and other nasty things without breaking a sweat. Here, the enemies are merciless, cruel, and come from the deepest parts of Hell. The Z-Sec Shotgunner will kill you in two shots if you are not careful, but so can you if you aim the shotgun to the head. The Z-Sec Machine Gunner will be always firing at your position in short intervals, laying down supressive fire on you. And most of the enemies will do between Lethal and severe damage if you are not careful with them. The Imp's fireball will kill you in two hits, the Maggot pounce will reduce your health to almost zero. Clearly, the forces of Hell have brought out the worst of the worst just for you. The difficulty itself is massive for the new players of this mod, so be ready to quicksave all the time. The game also allows you to have a shoulder lamp, which is a nerfed Flashlight, you can save up medikits when picking them up, and using them by binding a key to them. And you can also use Adrenaline shots after picking them up. Running and gunning is not possible as the sprinting option lowers your weapon down. So be careful with what you're doing.

-Enemies: Ahhh, this one's one of my favourites. The original enemies of Doom 3 make an appereance, some of them having redesigned textures, like the Imp, having his skin changed to brown instead of the grey skin. What I do love and consider a real challenge is the addition of enemies like the Nightmare Imp, the Spectre, and the addition of the Pain elemental, and the Baron of Hell. Some enemies have been altered, for example, occasionally, the Imp will go to a barrel, and throw it at you, and if it's an explosive barrel, you ****** it up. The Hell Knight can pick up imps and zombies, and throw them in your face too. And the voices of some of the enemies have been replaced with the amazing Trent Reznor soundpack, which adds a heck of a ton of new sounds for the guns and the enemies. It is a truly refreshing experience. Also, we cannot forget THE ADDITION OF SOME OF THE ENEMIES OF QUAKE AS ENEMIES IN DOOM 3! Expect the Shambler, the Vore, and the Fiends to strike you down without mercy.

-Weapons: The Weapons have all suffered a gameplay redesign by the author of the mod. First off, the accuracy of the Pistol and the Machine gun has been reduced, making you use the iron sights of the weapons in order to aim well. Most weapons have a secondary fire mode, like the 20 bullets instant firing mode from the Machine gun, and the pistol unloading a whole clip in a single shot. There's also the addition of some weapons not seen in Doom 3, like the Double Barreled Shotgun. In a short view, the weapons feel now more powerful, more kick-***, and more amazing. A perfect Arsenal to send Hell back.

-Graphics: The Graphics have been improved a lot. The addition of textures on the uniforms of the UAC personnel can be seen with greater detail. The shadows and lighting are amazing, and the fact that the corpses of the demons stay longer and the blood marks stay too!

Perfected Doom 3 is an example of grabbing the original game, and making it 10 times better than the original version. This is what Doom 3 should have been, this kick-*** and terrifying experience. I give this mod personally my 10/10. Now if you excuse me, I have to go to Mars, to kill some demons.

Black Mesa: Surface Tension Uncut

Mod review

When I was playing Black Mesa the first time, I quickly remember as an old fan of Half-Life how some sections of Surface Tension were missing. Well, fear not, Pilgrims, for Surface Tension Uncut aims to fix that little mistake! This mod will bring you back the final moments of the HECU's intervention in Black Mesa, right when the aliens start to take a toll on the Marines. Whole Marine groups shall be crushed by the Aliens, M1 Abrams's will be destroyed by the Alien Ray creatures, and lots of more incredible things to be seen in this mod! It Really shows how the HECU was fighting a losing battle by the later part of the game. Congratulations on the developer of the mod. Because this mod is a "MUST GET IT" option.

Polish Army 1939-1945

Mod review

I give this mod a 10 for very good reasons. Explaining all of them would take too much time, but here are some. First, the campaigns added to the mod have been the most entertaining ones i've ever seen for MOW. Not only taking place right when World War II started, but also going throughout all of the war in several specified missions, Four chapters with the special group SOE, and many add-ons which made the mod one of the best. Also, the bonus campaign Evil Empire lets you witness the start of the war through the perspective of the Third Reich, as they overwhelmed major obstacles, and engulfed Europe in a sea of flames, and as they were being pushed back by the combined Allied forces, inflicting massive casualties on the attackers. Honestly, one of the best mods ever, and for the awesome work that has been put into this, I give it a 10 Score. Thank you, VillageRaper and Gustav, for a job well done.
