10 Best Boomer Shooters On PC

gameranx.com:

First-person shooters have been around for a long time – longer than many people would think. The genre really took off around the time Wolfenstein 3D made its debut in 1992 before exploding in popularity a year later with DOOM. Over time, the genre was built up, expanded, and moulded to suit the modern audience.

But like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the now aptly named “boomer shooter” is back with a vengeance. FPS distilled to its most perfect form, refined with modern engines and design. Here are 10 of the best games to release in this second golden age of lead-belching, cult-slaying, demon-destroying carnage.
