Our favorite Doom port to play Doom on Windows 7 and Windows 8 is the Doomsday Engine. However, there's a Doom mod out there that elevates the game to unknown heights.

The amount of blood released when you shoot your enemies is enormous and may remind you of cult classic Braindead (1992). And you will witness Mortal Kombat like fatalities, performed by a very very angry Doomguy.
