I couldn’t play Doom on a Mac, but once this came out I didn’t even care. I prefer Marathon 2, but all three are great and Durandal is one of my all-time favorite characters in anything.

It’s also completely free to play! I’ve gone through all three games in AlephOne, and they’re close enough to the original experience that I can’t tell the difference, which is my yardstick for emulation or remasters.

I stand by my previous comments. However, it’s nowhere near the second hardest Legendary campaign as TVTropes contends. The squad actually makes things a lot easier, both by reviving you and by abusing the fact that their weapons have infinite ammo. I cleared the triple Warden fight in two tries by giving all three of them incineration cannons, pointing to a Warden, and watching the fun. Even if I got taken out by friendly fire, he was usually stunned long enough to get revived.

I also plowed through Halo Wars on Legendary (it came for free with my Halo Wars 2 UE). Good game, and pretty inventive for a late 2000’s RTS, but man, Legendary is just miserable. The computer gets infinite resources, so every map turns into one of those “last stand” missions that every RTS since the original StarCraft has had.
