The granddaddy of all first-person shooters is getting a fabulous Quake III makeover!
Just in case you didn't get to kill enough Nazi occult zombies in 1992, Gray Matter and id Software have your return trip ready in Return to Castle Wolfenstein. This time, you'll play as B.J. Blaskovitz, an Army Ranger who must escape from the aforementioned castle and foil Heinrich Himmler's occult experiments and evil goal: to reincarnate an ancient sorcerer and use him to subjugate the world under the Third Reich. The preview version of Wolfenstein played like a dream, giving you the chance to hose Nazis with a flame thrower or pin down Allied troopers with a mounted machine gun. The single-player game included levels ranging from the icy dunes of Norway, to the forests of Germany, to the crypts of Castle Wolfenstein itself. The multiplayer mode featured a full, Team Fortress-esque system of classes and roles, as well as an extremely well-tuned balance between the teams. The only real problem with the preview version was that there simply wasn't enough of it.
