Doom Online Impressions After Open Beta.

It seems reviews on Steam for the Doom Open Beta have been flooded with negative impressions over the last week, mostly down to Doom's new modern features and play-style.

Does this mark the end for Desura?A few people have found that the site is accessible after adding the following lines to the end of your host file (C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc): 54.186.210.232 desura.com54.186.210.232 www.desura.com54.186.210.232 static.desura.com54.186.210.232 secure.desura.com54.186.210.232 button.desura.com54.186.210.232 rss.desura.comMeaning, the domain is

Call of Cthulhu Game to be Released Next YearThe infamous tales from H.P. Lovecraft’s world of horror will be recreated as a video game, namely that of Cthulhu, with Cyanide Studios and Focus Home Interactive bringing just that on 2017. Focus originally teamed up with Sherlock Holmes developer Frogwares to announce the project through a bunch of concept art, though the title went silent for two years. The project seems to be resparked though, as Tech Times notes that it will be “based on the long-running pen and paper RPG of the same name.” “On a mission to find the truth
