Finally: Doom is DEAD. This weekend the TOP100 games chart, compiled by the readers of the internet has declared the strategy game: UFO, Enemy Unknown as the highest rated game above Doom. That means that the highly celebrated "Doom" was the number one for only 28 weeks (compared to Civilization which was number one for 44 weeks and is still number 3). Soon, Doom will drop even further since it has only a limited replay value for most people. It was a good game, but the best game yet? Most people don't think so. You may say that it is not fair to compare Doom to a strategy game, which is generally more addictive and has much deeper gameplay. But Doom has also an advantage: it is shareware and therefore more accessible for voters.
