It also featured the first hardcore blood and gore seen in gaming. Shortly after DOOM, ID Software developed Wolfenstein, an FPS where gamers needed to infiltrate Germany and take on Hitler. While doing so players traversed through 60 levels (6 chapters), killing off numerous types of infantry and dogs all while collecting loot, ammo and plates of warm food. But what was given to the XBLA/PSN version of the game to give a good resell you ask?"
Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.
The story of John Romero, John Carmack, Adrian Carmack, Tom Hall, Jay Wilbur and their legendary company id Software. From Commander Keen to Wolfenstein 3D, from Doom to Quake, they invented the 3D first-person shooter genre, and they transformed PC gaming into a multi-million dollars business.

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.
