As I'm working on this very update, the "guilty pleasure" movie on HBO in the background, a straight to cable classic called New World Disorder with Rutger Hauer and Andrew McCarthy (hey, I watch some good stuff too!), just offered a brief debate on the merits of Doom versus Quake where the participant who favored Doom preferred its gameplay over Quake's state-of-the-art-ness. I thought that was a bit more sophisticated than most mainstream mentions of such games, and it certainly caught me by surprise when it popped up there.
