1992's Wolfenstein 3D will be forever known as the crazy, cartoony, Robot-Hitler-starring game that propelled the first person shooter into one of the most popular genres in the video games market. Raven Software and Activision Blizzard (with a little help from series creator id Software) have brought secret agent B.J. Blazkowicz back to our monitors (or TVs) as he attempts to stop the Nazis from using the powers of the strange occult force known as Black Sun. The Nazis (damn them!) are trying to get to the source of the Black Sun where they're going to create a weapon of ultimate destruction. Between our reality and the Black Sun lies The Veil which also allows BJ to discover Veil Powers that will help him in his mission. These powers can be used in conjunction with each other, so you can, for example, use one power to look through certain objects, spot an enemy and then use another power to enhance your firepower so you can shoot through the obstruction to kill your opponent. With the addition of puzzles, treasure hunting, weapon and power upgrades to the FPS format and a multiplayer mode that will feel familiar to fans of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, this latest Wolfenstein game is sure to keep fans playing for quite some time.
