Dead Space vs Doom
Dead Space
Dead Space may not supposed to be much of a horror game at first (it was touted as a thriller mainly), but it certainly ended up that way. Featuring a third-person shooter gameplay, the game casts you in the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer in a massive spaceship stranded in space that's falling apart at the seams. That's not all, the ship is filled with hideous Necromorph monsters - alien-infected crew members - that just love to jump out at you at the most unconvenient moments, startling you at every chance it gets from seemingly every vent, collapsed ceiling, cracked floor etc... well, literally the full 360-degrees. The game can be a tad bit linear but that is exactly what enabled the developers to control almost every aspect of the game from start to finish even with you in it, giving you scares that will make you jump in your seat... and sometimes out of it.Dead Space made its name as one of the most thrilling shooter game that guarantees to slowly but surely drag you into its incredibly immerse and terrifying world. If you love a game that has both action and a generous dose of scariness, Dead Space is the game you'll want to play.
Doom
Doom follows the footsteps of its revolutionary predecessor, the game that had pioneered the genre of first person shooters. Returned to the limelight with as much gore as before, this new and greatly enhanced version of Doom guarantees hours after hours of fun either in single player (with multiple game modes) or multiplayer mode as players mow down endless waves of demons with insanely destructive guns in intense, fast-paced and heartpounding action. The multiplayer mode in this game is a whole lot more entertaining as players can now opt to play either as Doom marines or as demons in an epic arena-styled clash to the death.The best part though is definitely the Doom SnapMap, a level editor which allows players, for the first time ever, to easily create their own adventures and even game modes, and share them for all to enjoy. This literally offers limitless gameplay for both the creators and the players alike.
The Doom franchise is one of the most iconic shooters of all time and have paved the way to the many epic shooters that we get to play today. This latest resurrection of Doom definitely pays homage to the timeless classic and also give modern-day shooters a nod of respect as to how far they have come. This is certainly a game you'll want to get if you're a fan of frantic shooter games like the Serious Sam franchise.
