Five pounds and ninety-nine pence. I’ll repeat that. Five pounds and ninety-nine pence. Now I’ll put a screenshot thing in to break up the text and provide for a brief pause and then repeat myself again.


Five pounds and ninety-nine pence. Now, we could talk endlessly about how the pricing of games on the App Store is a good or bad thing. We could mention that £5.99 is cheaper than most XBLA games these days. The fact is, though, that six quid for a game on the App Store is an absolute fortune. It’s some premium shit, if you will.

So, does Doom Resurrection do anything to justify the hefty price tag, apart from using the Doom name?

Well, I can’t really tell yet. I’ve only played the first two levels. However, I can say that it looks incredible, the controls are interesting and I’ve very much enjoyed my brief time with it. If it was, say, a £2.99 game I’d be urging you to go out and buy it right now – but is it really worth ten 59p games? Only time will tell and I simply haven’t played it enough yet.

But I’m really, really looking forward to getting back to it, if that means anything. I am a complete Doom whore, though. I even loved Doom 3 – loved it, I say! And I’m not sorry!
