| Watch Now: New ‘DOOM’ Multiplayer Trailer
Last month the campaign trailer was released for DOOM, the upcoming reboot of the first-person shooter video game franchise. Now publisher Bethesda Softworks has released a trailer dedicated to the game’s multiplayer action. As you would expect, the multiplayer looks just a nutso as the single player campaign. If I had to make a comparison, I’d say it looks a little bit like Halo…only set in the depths of Hell and you can become a giant demon monster and rip other players in half. Halo doesn’t have that. At least not the last time I played it, anyway. Click on over to the other side to see DOOM multiplayer in action.

Dungeons & Dreamers
A story of how computer games created a global community
Paperback | Kindle Edition
Written by Brad King and John Borland
ETC Press
Release Date: March 15, 2014 Like any well-written history book, Dungeons & Dreamers captures your attention from the very beginning. For those of us who are older and remember a time before video games were a major source of entertainment, this book is like going home again. It firmly establishes its roots in tabletop gaming and taking the reader through a step-by-step transformation to the wondrous gaming networks we have today. And if it stopped there, this would still have been a labor of love that justified the long hours spent researching and interviewing. But it’s more than that, it’s an exceptionally detailed accounting of the work of several pioneers in the video gaming industry. Modern gaming owes much of its entertainment and viability to early roleplaying gamers like Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, who adapted other tabletop games into a more detail rich experience, allowing the player to move about in an unfettered landscape. Many people would come later on that would embrace this concept and take it to the next level. Richard Garriott was one of the first to act upon this, creating a multitude of text based games that eventually led to his massive multiplayer game, Ultima (and its sequels).
