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...

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...

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 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...

"Veil" washes out graphics for most of the game; AI could be sharper.
