Jeff Buckland:
''If you played the classic id Software shooter Wolfenstein 3-D back in its 1992 heyday, you probably have fond memories of blasting Nazis, finding secret areas, and taking down id's hilarious version of Hitler in a mech suit with dual gatling guns. This game basically spawned the first person shooter genre, and paved the way for dozens of games like it to come from id Software as well as their friends at Raven Software and rivals like 3D Realms. These early days of shooters were filled with campy comedy, great action, and at times, big scares - especially with id's DOOM.
In 2001, id revived the Wolfenstein franchise with an entirely new game called Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Its single player campaign had the same character from the first, BJ Blazkowicz, taking on new occult forces that the Nazis had unleashed, but it also had a great multiplayer mode where every map had its own little objective-based gameplay mode (this paved the way for the excellent online-only followup Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory) and wound up being a pretty legendary game in its own right.''
The great thing about being one of the most popular consoles of all-time is that there’s always more underappreciated bangers to spotlight.
Definitely a good game and loved the art style. My daughter watched me play it when she was 4 years old. I’ll have to replay it with her someday now that she’s older. It’s crazy it’s been around 11 years.
I was thinking of pulling out my PS3 super slim this winter to replay Rain, and try to tackle some of the backlog I acquired.
I love Enslaved such a sleeper hit, Asuras Wrath a very good game I still own, and I wish EA would put out a new Dante's Inferno another game I enjoyed. I never heard of the Rain game I might have to try it out might give Ebay a snoop or two.
enchanted arms and folklore most definitely.
theres also a game about a red haired guy and a girl who is a sword or something. good game
Sometimes, you want a relatable villain who makes you question your own morality. Other times, you want Frau Engel.
It got old tbh. Machine needed a break from the IP. Indie is a good reprieve.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s true! In honor of that legacy, we’re going to list some of the best Wolfenstein games and the worst. That’s right: it’s the Wolfenstein games ranked."
Scheiße! Nein.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the best in the series. After that:
New Order
New Colossus
Old Blood
I really wish they'd remake Return to Castle Wolfenstein from the ground up. Easily the best of them all.
