DOOM and Quake are awesome games. My friend recommends DUSK on Steam, haven't tried it yet but it looks like old school quake.

Wrath: Aeon of Ruin was made with the Quake engine. If you like Quake, Wrath pushes the engine to unbelievable. I’d highly recommend checking the Steam store to see if there’s a free demo to D/L. I keep going back to this one and am pretty sure you will too.
