Review Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot - An Unexpectedly Impressive PSVR Excursion
I, robot
Machine Games and Arkane Studios’ Wolfenstein collaboration spans two titles, but much of the emphasis during marketing was on the cooperative shooting of Wolfenstein: Youngblood. The PlayStation VR title, Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot, has hardly gotten any attention. It was shown – briefly – at this year’s E3, and apart from the odd...
Review Wolfenstein: Youngblood - What Happened Bethesda?
Daddy issues
A few years back, Bethesda couldn’t stop boasting about its line-up of purely single player titles. The space for solo players was never in any real danger of disappearing completely, but in the age of online looter shooters and the rise of the games as a service concept, the commitment was appreciated. Fast forward to 2019, however,...
Review Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (PS4)
Make America great again
No one was really expecting that much from Wolfenstein: The New Order when it came out a few years back. It was a nice surprise to find that its bloody, satisfying combat and memorable, well written characters helped make it one of the best shooters on the PlayStation 4.

MachineGames has made a much quicker than expected return to the Wolfenstein series that it helped to re-popularise.

Review Wolfenstein: The New Order (PlayStation 4)
Back to the Führer
"Shooting, stabbing, strangling Nazis," is the response that long time Wolfenstein protagonist B.J. Blazkowicz gives when asked what he's been up to recently. Starting all the way back in the early nineties with Wolfenstein 3D, he’s definitely shown an enthusiasm for his craft, making it seem more of a pastime than a career. In...

Interview Synthesising Some Answers on Wolfenstein: Youngblood's Soundtrack with Composer Tom Salta
Synthicide
To put it lightly, Wolfenstein: Youngblood has been a rather divisive game -- one fraught with problems, but not one completely devoid of good things either. One of those good things, if not the best thing, happens to be Tom Salta’s fantastic synth score. We got to have a chat with him about what influences the soundtrack, how it felt...
E3 2017 Wolfenstein II's Story Is Going Bigger and Better for Sequel
Oh, and there will likely be a Wolfenstein III
If DOOM and Titanfall 2 were signs of the first-person shooter genre's revitalization last year, then 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order was the forerunner of this unexpected movement. With an impossibly ridiculous yet serious story that rivals the Metal Gear Solid series' tone and impeccable...
News Old School and New School Merge in This Surprising Wolfenstein Easter Egg
A blast from the past
There's no doubt that Wolfenstein: The New Order is heavily inspired by its 1992 predecessor Wolfenstein 3D, which pioneered the shooter genre much like the legendary DOOM.
