Limited Run Games Just Dropped a Bombshell: DOOM Ultimate Collection Incoming!

Limited Run Games, everyone's favorite purveyor of physical gaming nostalgia, is back—and this time, they've opened a portal straight to Hell.

A Legendary Franchise Reborn (Again)

DOOM, the iconic FPS that turned gamers into demon-slaying legends, is getting the ultimate collector’s treatment from Limited Run Games. Expect more chainsaws, shotguns, and pixelated carnage than ever before.

But this isn't just another cash grab.

What's in the Box?

Here’s what you’re looking at:

• DOOM (1993): The OG demon-slaying masterpiece.

• DOOM II: More levels, more weapons, more demons.

• DOOM 3: The controversial horror-focused entry that divided fans but still carved its own bloody legacy.

• Exclusive artwork, collectible items, and nostalgic throw-ins only Limited Run Games can provide.

Physical Media, Done Right

Limited Run Games is known for giving retro classics the love they deserve—no cheap plastic here. Expect sturdy collector’s boxes, detailed manuals, and exclusive goodies you can't find digitally.

Should You Grab It?

Absolutely. Whether you're a hardcore DOOM veteran or a newcomer who missed out, this collection is the definitive way to experience the classics.

These releases are limited—once they're gone, they're gone forever.

Don’t Sleep on This

Pre-orders will kick off soon, and like every Limited Run release, they'll vanish quicker than a Pinky demon on Nightmare mode.

Lock and load, gamers—Hell awaits!

Nike’s New 'Big Head Mode' Sneaker is a GoldenEye 007 Fan’s Dream Come True

Nike just dropped a nostalgia bomb with its latest sneaker: the "Big Head Mode", a playful tribute to Rare’s legendary FPS, GoldenEye 007. Remember those oversized noggins bouncing around the Facility level? Nike sure does.

GoldenEye Meets Sneaker Culture

The “Big Head Mode” sneaker takes iconic visuals from the 1997 N64 classic and brings them to life. Featuring:

• Character portraits subtly printed across the upper.

• 007-themed accents hidden in stitching and tongue labels.

• A special Easter egg: oversized Nike swooshes, mirroring GoldenEye's hilarious cheat-mode characters.

It’s like wearing your childhood on your feet.

Why GoldenEye 007?

Released nearly three decades ago, GoldenEye 007 defined split-screen multiplayer FPS gaming on consoles. Nike's choice taps into nostalgia while celebrating a game that’s still revered today. Who hasn't lost friendships over Oddjob?

• First released in 1997, exclusively on Nintendo 64.

• Sold over 8 million copies globally.

• Revolutionized FPS multiplayer gaming, paving the way for titles like Halo and Call of Duty.

Sneakerhead or Gamer? Why Not Both?

Nike’s crossovers with retro gaming culture have always hit the mark. But this one feels special. Whether you're a sneaker collector, a retro gaming aficionado, or both—this release checks all the boxes.

It’s a collector’s dream, blending Nike’s sneaker dominance with retro gaming’s enduring appeal.

Want a Pair? Here’s the Catch

Nike knows how to hype. The Big Head Mode sneaker drops soon—but don’t blink. Limited stock means these kicks will vanish faster than Natalya in an escort mission.

• Retail price: $150.

• Available exclusively via Nike’s SNKRS app.

• Expected resale prices: easily double retail.

Final Thoughts: Big Head, Big Nostalgia

Nike nailed it. By choosing GoldenEye 007, they're not just selling shoes—they're selling memories.

Don’t sleep on these kicks. The nostalgia is real, and like GoldenEye itself, they'll become an instant classic.
