BioShock's Arcadia faithfully recreated in Doom II photo

These are the sort of funky game culture stories I like to read about late into the night. Someone has recreated one of the most memorable areas from BioShock, the level known as Arcadia, in Doom II using the SLADE map editor. The end result is pretty damn neat, if I do say so myself.

What makes the project even cooler is that this wasn't just "someone," it was actually BioShock (and BioShock 2) level designer Jean-Paul LeBreton -- who better to design a minimalistic map than the guy who painstakingly created the modern-day one?

Better yet, you can even experience it for yourself. Over on LeBreton's blog, he's got the files ready for download.

Don't know what you mean, but Doom 2 is actually better than the first.

Is it just me, or does Destructoid seem to be behind every other blog by about a week? This is probably the tenth article I've read in the past week or so that's already several days old.

The same could be said for any gaming blog. In fact, the same usually is said for every gaming blog.

wow, I remember at age 13 getting the original PC version of doom at walmart, and having to upgrade ram to 128mb, haa. That was when I learned what ram was. These days, things are much more complicated, with www.hccmis.com taking up most of my time...
