Has it really been eight years since the last proper Wolfenstein game? Time sure does fly. However, Raven Studios is betting that killing Nazis in all sorts of bullet-filled ways never gets old, so here we are with a new entry in the long-running serie...

Wolfenstein and I go back a long way. The original was possibly the first PC game I ever played, sitting at the keyboard of my housemates 386 not long after the game first launched. Over a two year period I played through the original on every d...

For a series ‘reboot’, Wolfenstein doesn’t tread any fresh ground, which is something you would expect from a game that has been taken apart and reformed as something completely new. In fact, this really does feel like something released four years ago...
It’s fine for a quick blast – and it doesn’t take long to finish – but nothing about it raises the title above ‘okay’ levels. One to induce rabid apathy, no doubt. 7.2/10Print this pageUser reviews (0)Share this pageNot...

Does killing Nazis ever get old? Actually, yes. Eventually. That is, unless they’re supernatural Nazis. Hence, we have Call of Duty: World at War’s zombie-fighting mode, as well as a little thing called Wolfenstein. Nazis are best consumed (via bullets...

You probably heard we ain’t in the prisoner-takin’ business: we in the killin’ Nazi business, and cousin, Business is a-boomin’. With that out of the wa,y we can delve into here and see if it’s worth plunking down that hard earned cash on nostalgia or...
If you’re looking for a FSP set in WWII that has a bit of the supernatural and science-fiction thrown in that has a pretty strong single-player campaign then this is your game. If you’re looking for that and a strong multi-player element, look for som...

As one of the forefathers of one of gaming’s favorite genres, the first person shooter, Wolfenstein’s debut had a lot to live up to as its predecessors set the bar astronomically high when they made the first person shooter (FPS) genre popular back in...

When Wolfenstein 3D launched in 1992, it helped to define the first-person shooter for years to come. It wasn’t the first game in the series, but it was the first Wolfenstein title to take on this genre, where it has remained ever since. It has now bee...

Version Reviewed: Xbox 360 Whats it about? Readers of a certain age may remember with great fondness the re-birth of the Wolfenstein series back in 2001. Return to Castle Wolfenstein (RTCW) was a game that soon adopted a cult following, whereas its p...
Wolfenstein’s biggest problem is that its online component, where we thought the game would really excel, just doesn’t cut the mustard. The single-player campaign, on the other-hand, gets the basics right and does get more compelling and immer...

Let's get something straight right off the bat, I won't say that this new Wolfenstein game from Raven is a fantastic shooter, it's not on that level of quality of something like Killzone 2, or Halo 3, but it's a damn fun shooter to play, at least when...

I don't know if you've noticed but FPS's have gone all clever on us lately. Over the last couple of years we've been inundated with games claiming all kinds of shiny new features. We've had conscience pricking moral choices, all kinds of time control s...

I wonder what started first: Quentin Tarantino's pre-production on Inglourious Basterds or the development of Wolfenstein. From what I've seen of the trailers, Inglourious Basterds looks like a seriously unserious take on the fight against the Nazi emp...

Whiz! Boom! Pow! A games sound effects are not typically the most prominent thought in a reviewers mind, but Wolfensteins are so well-done, and complement the white-knuckle, FPS gameplay so well, that Ive got to call them out up front. From the bar...
Beautiful graphics, fantastic sound design, and engaging story; upgrade system adds layers to the game.
"Veil" washes out graphics for most of the game; AI could be sharper.
