Wolfenstein

Wolfenstein is yet another "fantasy WW2" shooter pitting you against mad science, hubris-ridden nazis. You won't be forced to play through a series of levels back-to-back, as the streets of the town-hub are free to explore before you take on any unlocked mission or replay completed ones. Besides guns and explosives you will rely on the occult powers of The Veil, a distorted reality in which you can slow down time, block bullets and discover secret passages. Top that with lots of grisly dismemberment, intel searching and german accent, and it starts to feel a lot like 'Prey meets F.E.A.R.' with a touch of NecroVisioN and a drop of No One Lives Forever 2. How lovely is that ?
