Yes!  Serious Sam is the closest I've come to the feeling I used to get
from Doom, the feeling that something was about to jump on me at ever
instant.  And then, when things *are* jumping on you, they're so numerous,
relentless, and gratuitous that you're practically jumping out of your
chair trying to dodge them.

Jedi Outcast is also quite good.  (A better Star Wars experience than ep.
2, frankly.)  I recommend going to jediknightii.net and downloading the
small mods that make your lightsaber sound more like the ones from the old
movies.  It's also good to learn the console commands that turn on the
body-severing options. (yum!)
