Since there are so many fan made mission packs and Total Conversions out there (for example at http://www.doomwadstation.com/), I still play Doom/Doom2 now and then.

Go ahead DD-be my guest you saw how long it took to get it, but a word of warning, don't always smash into the rack at break off because the cue ball can easily go in off or be pushed into a pocket-best advice is to hit the centre ball hard and straight.
Good Luck.

Bought GTA: Chinatown Wars - very disappointing imo...

Everyone seemed to be disappointed.
Too small. Goes back to the "top-down" GTA days.
After GTA:III, I could never go back to the old days.
Besides I don't own a Ds or PSP, anything that tiny.

VERY happy with The Lost and Damned DLC for GTA:IV.

I must be the only person not disappointed. Anyone expecting a modern version of GTA on the DS was fooling themselves.

That's good to hear you liked it.

I think there was so much promotion and reviews by IGN, etc. that many
GTA fans knew what it would be like. There is one thing that Chinatown Wars
has that I miss about being back in modern Liberty - the lack of Triads.
Those guys were always like one of the main stars of the east coast.
I also miss the rampages with Triads and others, but there are enough
cops in modern Liberty to make your own if you really want to.

I also miss some tools, such as the chainsaw, the flamethrower, katana, golf club...and some weapons: the silenced 9mm, the sawnoff shotgun and the vulcan minigun

For sure, we lost a lot of the old favorites such as chainsaw
when the developers announced they were taking a more
realistic approach to the new Liberty City. I must admit
while the city and life are photo-real and quite beautiful,
there was nothing like chainsaw rampages.

There are 2 shotguns in GTA:IV, the regular police edition,
and the stubby, similar to the sawnoff. I miss the Combat
Shotgun similar to the real life AA-12 Automatic Shotgun.
Most prevalent in Vice City and San Andreas.
At least we get to keep the AK-47 and M4!
The Lost and Damned DLC features a new heavy duty
sawnoff that the Lost MC Members use.

Another detail that is gone, based on realism, is Firefighter.
I always used to do Firefighter missions first, so that I would
be fire-proof, and use molotovs on any enemy nearby, and
you wouldn't even have to move out of the way.
I died in the like the 2nd mission on the Lost and Damned,
because Johnny tried to jump over a flaming staircase in
a rival gang's club house! In GTA:IV and TLAD I switched
back over to grenades from molotovs. Good old grenades.

Wasn't the Silenced 9mm, Flamethrower, and Minigun sweet?
Thanks for the memories almeidaCTU
