Nice review Vork, really does the game justice. You summed it up perfectly by saying that on the face it looks like a Doom clone but get below the skin and you'll find a game worthy in its own right (almost asking the question why people don’t call Dark Forces and other improved games a Heretic clone?). For me personally it is the enemies that I most enjoyed about Heretic. I remember as I first played it last year that the varying degrees of difficulty, from the Imps (as easy as stepping on a dead ant) to the Maulotaur (I must change my pants before trying to kill this thing again!) was at a level of perfection I can barely place on any other game. Quake, Dark Forces don't even come close. Only maybe Unreal comes close but it fails to reach #1 with its heavy use of reskinned versions of the same enemy.

Welcome back(ish) Death! Glad you’re still alive! :D. I know the feeling too well my friend of not having enough time. At least you’re keeping yourself busy. Interesting hobby you got there, reading D&D stuff but not playing? But hell, we all enjoy what we enjoy and as long as we enjoy it that’s all that matters. I’ve done something’s that would raise an eye brow but I enjoy it. Is your internet problems a permanent thing or can you get around it eventually?

Talking of Quake and Unreal, I am currently playing both Quake II and Unreal at the same time. I've never done this before but I can say playing the two games I think have the greatest FPS experience/game play is a joy. It may answer my question... which one is truly the best?
