Strange, I thought they'd have them there... Hex 2 and PoP are very interesting in terms of seeing what the Q1 engine is capable of. There are some pretty neat effects (including transparency in software renderer mode, improved particle effects, breakable objects, improved scripted events, and readable items that display text when you touch them).

Yeah, Ultimate Doom's E4 is supposedly on Earth (between the events of D1 and D2), but they had to use D1 textures, which lacked the urban-oriented artwork of D2. The only new texture included in UD was the sky for the new episode.

And Heretic's new episodes have no new textures whatsoever - their focus is on delivering new levels. Same with Hexen's mission pack. But the Hex 2 expansion is a different thing - lots of new textures, new decorations, new items to pick up. They really put some effort into it :)

By the way, there is an inventory item in Hexen 2 that is pretty similar to the so-called Hellgate Cube - it's a small golden cube that hovers above your head and shoots fiery projectiles at enemies (in the mission pack it was made slightly more powerful and it shoots beams of light instead).
