Free Doom Update Adds Arcade Mode, Retro Snapmap Textures
Free Update 4 for Doom has been released, bringing with it Arcade Mode, which transforms the campaign into a score-based challenge.
The Arcade Mode allows you to play every level with all the guns, runes, and equipment upgrades unlocked. Plus, you can customize your gear before your run starts to discover which combinations are best for you.
The ultimate goal is to climb the leaderboards, and you gain score by killing enemies quickly, avoiding damage, and collecting multipliers.
In addition, Classic Doom modules are being added to SnapMap, the level creation tool. Plus, id Software has already created some maps using assets based on the original games for you to try out.

Nintendo Became More Valuable Just By Saying It Was Revealing NX
Hey, so maybe you heard that Nintendo will be showing off its new NX console later today. Apparently, so did shareholders, promptly sending Nintendo's market value up more than $1 billion overnight.

10 of the Best Oculus Rift Games
Despite having been released to consumers earlier this year, the Oculus Rift is still peeling off the cellophane, still unpacking itself from the box of expectation. Virtual Reality is in its infancy, and the Rift’s selection of games is modest.
However, there's still enough for a list of ten of the best games you can get on the Oculus Rift. In making the decision we considered how much fun the games are to play, their influence, and innovation.
The selection committee this time round included: Marty Silvia, Alysia Judge, Alanah Pearce, Joe Skrebels, Gav Murphy, and Dan Stapleton.

Shadowverse: The CCG with a “Win the Match” Card
As someone who’s dedicated a huge amount of time to Hearthstone over the last few years, Shadowverse was a refreshing change of pace when I first picked it up earlier this year. (You can read my overview of the game here.) While familiar in some respects, it has some really distinct points of difference, such as the ability to evolve minions, and classes with truly bespoke mechanics, and these give it a unique identity and intriguing gameplay possibilities.
Card games don’t stand still, of course, and Shadowverse recently launched its 109 card Darkness Evolved expansion. It’s a strong set, expanding archetypes, introducing new ideas and injecting plenty of additional life into the game as a whole. I’ve had a blast hopping back into the game, but one card in particular has really caught my attention.
Old Man Logan Comparison: From Comics to Movie
We got our first official look this week of Hugh Jackman in Logan, the upcoming third solo Wolverine film which reunites the actor with his The Wolverine director, James Mangold. And the image, which portrays an aged, scarred take on the clawed one, certainly adds credence to the notion that this so-called final Jackman X-Men film will be an adaptation of the Old Man Logan story from the comics. (Update: You can now watch the Logan trailer here.)
That tale is set 50 years in the future, in a world where supervillains now reign supreme and Logan has forsaken the Wolverine name and the use of his claws. Of course, just like Michael Corleone, just when he thought he was out, they pull him back in, and he finds himself on the road with the now elderly Avenger Hawkeye. Obviously Mangold and Jackman's Logan will differ from Old Man Logan in many ways, since it's a Fox production and hence can't use Marvel Studios characters like Hawkeye, but it's clear that the post-apocalyptic setting and depiction of an old Logan whose powers are fading will take its cue from the comics.
Arrow: What’s Next For Felicity, Diggle and Mr. Terrific
