The hilarious part is the people who wish it was free-roam like doom 3! xD!

Does nobody remember the fact that Doom3 was practically an on-rails shooter, it was the definition of linear. You people are whiners, Doom Resurrection is a genuinley good game, and the onrails+accelerometer is hundreds of times better than the virtual analog sticks like in Prey and RE, especially without a screen protector, the iPhone screen is not that slippery.

I'm enjoying it!

I do wish I could fully invert the controls (not just vertical) since it feels backwards to me. But I got used to it.

Unfortunately you're right. Being an iPhone developer it's increasingly obvious that it's going to be impossible to make a return on the development costs as the market doesn't seem to support $10 games. I have a funny feeling these games will stop being made for the iPhone, the same way as a lot of types of games aren't made for the PSP as it's market seems to only support franchises and ports etc.

I bought it, as frankly $10 is about the price of a pint over here. I was really looking forward to seeing what id was able to do with the platform and this is certainly a huge achievement from a technological standpoint.

Unfortunately, to me, this game miss the target when it comes to the fun-part. I actually found Time Crisis to be a more entertaining on-the-rails shooter despite being nowhere near Doom technologically. So, I get the fact that they need to charge $10 for the job, but I'm certainly not convinced it's the right price-point when it comes to entertainment for your money. As a gamer I don't pay for technology, I pay for entertainment value...

Oh yeah, if only it was $2...

Do you know how much work it takes to make a game like this? $10 for 3 hours of (replayable) fun is plenty cheap in comparison to other forms of entertainment.
