The /newstuff Chronicles #401 Kirby on Kurogane: Kurogane is a standalone level made by Memfis, and if I had to pick one adjective to help describe this level, it would be austere. But austere in such a way that allows the level to stand out in the areas it excels in. (more)

Oh yeah. You know what the original greenwar is. This Saturday, we're busting out the classic and playing it oldschool style. If you want to miss an awesome super amazingly fun time, be sure to not show up. However, I don't recommend missing it.

After being in development for some two and a half years, Khorus has finally finished his three-episodes megawad project Base Ganymede. For those who do not know, Base Ganymede is a one-man project for vanilla Doom which plays out on the largest moon in the solar system, Ganymede.

For this week's instalment of survival, we have Scythe, made by Erik Alm. Scythe is a legendary megawad which has been listed as one of the top wads of 2003. It consists of small, well-designed maps that flow great and are a blast to play. In order to keep things interesting, we are running 02xpain, a wad which doubles the monster damage.

• Skill: Ultra Violence
  
• PWADs: scythe, 02xpain, tskins1e, miekskins-r3
  
• Maps: 01-15, 31
  
• Lives: 1

From the official Bethesda Blog:

We're pleased to announce that id Software's FPS classic, DOOM, has returned to the Xbox LIVE Marketplace worldwide. This even includes Germany, where the the game was de-listed from a banned list last year.

The game costs only 400 Microsoft points this time around, so if you missed the chance to grab it the last time it was available, now would be the time to do so.

GooberMan on Fight On!: Fury Rising: This map seems to be in the "Kitchen Sink" style, as in, the author seemed to have put everything but in it. Visually, it's a big sprawling base. Lots of attention has been paid to geometric detail, but not the alignment that goes with it. There's even some weird lift constructions that are quite easy to get out of sync and reveal undefined lower sidedefs. If you're allergic to those kinds of visual mistakes, then this isn't the map for you. (more)
