Marvel's Spider-Man 2 aims to level up heaps of what made the original superhero game a banger, but fret not – creative director Bryan Intihar insists "we didn't fuck up the stuff people liked from the first game."
Amazing Doom total conversion mod is like a new Indiana Jones game
29.09.2023 - 15:41 / pcgamesn.com / George Lucas / Steven Spielberg / New
I’ve never been great at math, but Doom plus Indiana Jones seems like an equation for success. In the 30 years since Doom’s release, we’ve seen hundreds, perhaps thousands, of total conversion mods, from the excellent Brutal Doom to the cerebral and scary My House. Now, the defining PC FPS from id Software gets a dose of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, as an enormous Doom mod casts you in the role of a Stetson-wearing treasure hunter blasting his way through Mesopotamia and Egypt. If you’ve been waiting on a new Indiana Jones game, like for example the one from Bethesda, this will more than tide you over in the meantime.
Venturous is one of those Doom mods that essentially feels like an entirely different game. Across three episodes (I guess that is pretty Doom-y, if you think of the very first release in 1993) you battle Nazis while hunting for mythical artifacts in tropical and ancient locations. Six shooters, MP40s, a trusty machete – if it weren’t for the endlessly gratifying gallons of blood, this could be an entirely different FPS game.
Created by ‘Pixel Fox,’ Venturous boasts seven maps, 19 weapons, and 40 different enemy types. Fast, fluid, and full of loving homages to our beloved Dr. Jones (at the start of the first level, you collect your hat off the ground, and it even makes that iconic little Doom ‘pick up’ sound), you can play Venturous right now. You just need a copy of Doom and the essential ZDoom mod, which adds up and down look. If you’re still not convinced, get a load of Venturous thanks to Alpha Beta Gameplay:
More and more, it seems like we’re getting new and improved ways to experience the PC gaming classics. Check out this new Steam shooter, which feels like a spiritual remake of Doom 3, or maybe this gigantic Resident Evil mod, so big it’s basically a new standalone RE game.
Alternatively, you can feed your nostalgia with the best old games on PC, or scratch that Doom-inspired, Former Human-killing itch with the best zombie games ever.

Stunning Doom total conversion mod is basically like a new FEAR game
Doom is the gift that keeps on giving. Between Doom Eternal and the 2016 reboot, id Software’s epochal PC shooter feels just as alive as ever, but even the 1993 original is still thrilling and thriving in equal measure, as total conversion Doom mods provide a steady stream of nostalgic but modernized boomer shooters. Now it’s the turn of FEAR, the terrific, bullet-time horror FPS from Shadows of Mordor and Blood creator Monolith, to get the unofficial, spiritual successor treatment. Also incorporating the claustrophobic horror style of Aliens, it feels like we just got a brand-new FEAR game, courtesy of an enormous and stunning Doom total conversion.

Massively Revamped Foundry Demo Briefly Returns with New Publisher - Hardcore Gamer
The road of game development can be a weird one, with periods of regular news being followed by long bouts of silence plus varying levels of access to early builds. Open alphas, closed alphas, Early Access, and various forms of testing get the game into players’ hands while providing important feedback, but the gathered information doesn’t do much good if there’s no time to integrate it properly. In the case of Foundry its alpha period went well enough the game was picked up by a publisher, leading to a long period of silence after the Steam demo got pulled last November while the entire game received a full overhaul. Now it’s back with a huge number of changes, available for the duration of the Steam Next Fest before it disappears again.
