Spam isn't going to die out

Not if you believe Doom 3, anyway.

Part of the gameplay involves your PDA, and those of the poor victims of all the demons. Vital information may be found on these, including emails with security codes for access points. But on one PDA, I discovered, yes, a pharmaceutical spam.

I nearly fell of the chair laughing.

Most surprisingly effective weapon so far - the torch. It takes 6 pistol shots to take down a low-level zombie. But only two blows from your trustie maglite.

I believe that there's a 419 in there somewhere, too...

This being Doom, the shotgun is pretty top at short range. If you're lucky you can blow two zombies away with one shot if they're behind each other. Gory (eww, flying brains) but fun.

Oh yes, the shotgun is my favourite weapon so far. Typical Doom - run in close and unleash a lethal blast at point-blank range.

I started playing Doom 3. Stopped after a while.

It's just too damn scary.
