IGN is hiring. You should work for them. They could use someone like you.
EDIT:
After playing Battlefield 3, Doom seems really rather terrible.
So I've recently played Battlefield 3 beta on PC, and it goes without saying that it's a complete masterpiece, and pretty much one of the greatest works of man since Bernini's The Rape of Proserpina. Now I've been playing DOOM (in iPhone), which I've never played before..
And let me say this: having bathed in the glory of Battlefield 3, DOOM's flaws are major:
1. Why do all these intricate weapons even exist?
What Battlefield 3 did is explain why all the gadgets exist in their universe. It's because they were military weapons, designed to allow humans to battle out the enemies and to do things they couldn't before. We don't know EVERYTHING about the intentions behind the weapon caliber, but we know enough for it to make sense. The rest of the attachments are open enough to allow us to find out little details about it as we rank along.
In Doom, we're to presume that SOMEBODY spent loads of money and time pointlessly building this fortress full of scattered weapons. The game always feels completely and utterly artificial as a result.
2. There is no genuine 'movement' in Doom.
This is how you move in Doom: look for a key that you can do something with: i.e. W. Then press that key in the nearby finger. It helps because there is only one forward button to press it in, so essentially you can't get it wrong. One button, one keyboard. It's about as linear as movement gets, and so much of the game is like this.
If you see a stair, you climb up it, which takes you to a platform. At this point, there's no lateral thinking involved to get to the next platform, it's simply a case of pulling a lever/climbing a foothold. There's never a choice between a lever and a foothold, as the game is so simplistic and linear that it's practically on rails, and it pretty much directs you where to go itself.
In comparison, with Battlefield 3 you have to use your MOUSE to look around on how to shoot the jet. It's not a case of 'I need to push this W-key, oh obviously I do it with the keyboard that is sitting 2 inches away', it's a case of 'HOW do I keep these four I/O devices pushed down when there is only one screen, and even that button is pressed every time I try to bring it across the hands, and to make it worse I have to do it whilst avoiding the stinger missle. But I have at my disposal a joystick and some pedals which allows me to turn regular dogfight into HNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Essentially, you can't just sleepwalk through Battlefield 3. You have to use the ironsight. Not sleepwalk through the jungle.
3. When you get stuck in Battlefield 3, it's your own stupid fault playing a beta. When you get stuck in DOOM, it's the iPhone's shitty controls' fault.
Here's an example: there is a bit halfway through Operation Metro where you have gotten to a low platform in a crater. You need to attack two M-COM Stations on the opposite side of the field to progress. There's no way across. You spend half an hour looking over every inch of that field for the medics/snipers/campers that you forgot to spot. You don't find anyone, so you then you try using your knife to slice everything in the field. Doesn't work. THEN you finally figure out the retarded solution: you were supposed to hold E to plant the M-COM Station, and go under the crater to glitch under the map and take down enemies while you glitch. Now let me begin by saying this is the dumbest most retarded shit I have ever seen in my life. If DICE can fucking magically ban the servers, then why the fuck don't they just fix the crater glitch, leading me straight out of the entire ground? Also, where in the game was I supposed to find out that I'll get banned from beta for joining Caspian Border? This isn't lateral thinking, it's complete making-it-up-as-we-go-along. It's literally as if the level designers couldn't be bothered to think of a solution, so they pulled a "OH IT'S A BETA!". There's a few other examples of this in the game too.
4. All the other little things.
With Battlefield 3, it seems like they thought about EVERYTHING, to make it a perfect game. What no one ever mentions about Battlefield 3 is those amazing battlelog where you try and join the server but do it wrong, and DICE or EA laugh at you for your stupidity. It feels incredibly organic and genuine, and really brings you into the game. It literally feels like they're watching you the whole time. Like when EA says 'Quick Match', and you go the opposite way. In Bad Company 2, DICE would wait until you clicked in the search. In Battlefield 3, DICE's Community Manager made an annoyed comment about how you're ungrateful and need to grow up. The dialogue/AI in this game is just on a whole other level to other computer games. I love it when they say "Be Advised!". Doom is so utterly bland in comparison.

Conclusion: Battlefield 3 is so good that it makes other shooters seem really rather terrible.
Question: Will there be another shooter in ten years time which makes Battlefield 3 seem really rather terrible?
Answer: No.
