It's a simple thing, but one good way to make games memorable is for the developers to leave you words of encouragement in the pack-in material. (slrpnk.net)

(Obligatory "I wish we still got pack-in material in the new games" "Oh, I wish we still got - you know - packaging these days")

Doom 3 reference card: "A note of caution: Doom 3 is a terrifying sci-fi horror game experience. It is not recommended for the cowardly or the faint of heart. However, for those who dare to face Doom 3 as it was intended: Lock your door. Turn off the lights. And turn up your sound. Enjoy Doom 3."

Horror? Doom is horror? Wtf?

Dude, I go around killing demons as if they were made out of paper. How the fuck is that a horror game?

The marine campaign from aliens vs predator is horror, well kinda. Doom is just an arena shooter.

    doom 3 is all narrow corridors and pitch darkness. they created a very impressive-for-the-time dynamic lighting engine to be able to hide the monsters, made it so you couldn't have your gun and your flashlight out at the same time, and had all interaction to open doors and such be done through virtual screens with a mouse-driven interface so you couldn't look away. it is very much so horror.
