Doom Ii (1995)

What isn't to love about DOOM? The original title was one of the grandfathers of the FPS genre, and its successor only brings more accolades for the series.  It has the same great engine, the same classic graphics, but with more monsters, more levels, and a thriving community. There's relatively little story here, only snippets of information as you move through levels. The basics, however, are more than enough to carry you through. Earth has is now inhabited by demons and you, a space marine, are one of the few who can stop them. For newcomers to the series, DOOM II's controls might not be what you expect, but they present an interesting twist on modern shooters. In an incredibly fast-paced environment, players only have to worry about horizontal aiming, lining their gun up with demons as they race through corridors. Along the way, you'll have to pick up keycards, adding a puzzle-like element as you try to navigate your way through confusing facilities. It sounds like a frustrating journey, but thankfully every moment is punctuated with fun. Mowing down hordes of enemies with rocket launchers, machine guns, and shotguns never gets old, nor does the feeling of satisfaction when you finally complete your mission.
