Doom: Annihilation is now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and HD Digital.
The writing seemed to be on the wall for Universal Pictures Home Entertainment’s Doom: Annihilation after current Doom game developer Bethesda put out a statement distancing themselves from the project.

The plot, action, and characters are tired and the few elements of the game’s lore that make it to the screen don’t save it from feeling like a ca...
