You can never have too much of a good thing, as Wolfenstein: The Old Blood looks set to prove this week. MachineGames' first-person reboot was surprisingly well received when it released last year, and so it's no surprise that the Swedish studio is giving the shooter another shot. It's not the only major arrival scheduled to land on Planet PlayStation this week, of course, as puzzler Ether One is also in the pipeline – and will be free for PlayStation Plus subscribers.
Pick of the Week: Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
Admit it: you didn't expect Wolfenstein: The New Order to be any good, did you? MachineGames really took some risks with the reboot, ditching multiplayer in favour of a carefully curated single player experience. It also went old-school in many ways: health packs, dual wielding, and weapon wheels. But it worked – and the game felt fresh as a consequence.
Wolfenstein: The Old Blood regurgitates much of what made its predecessor so memorable, and attempts to expound upon the alternate history story. Once again, you'll play as the brilliantly named B.J. Blazkowicz, as you attempt to infiltrate Castle Wolfenstein and lay waste to some Axis antagonists. Boom. Headshot.

Savings week
Ether One because it's "free".
Too bad I'll be busy playing Catherine. Best $5 I've spent in a while.
I'll be first in line for some more Wolfenstein when it hits PSN this week. The New Order was surprisingly enjoyable and I can't wait for some more.
Project cars I need it now
New Order was most excellent, looking forward to The Old Blood.
Project Cars. Roll on Wednesday Midnight.
When does Project Cars hit the U.S? May 12? I'm really excited about it,
Project Cars, see you on the track folks!
(or besides it in my rear mirror, harr harr harr)
Project Cars! I hope it will have a decent launch after all these delays
Ether One. I like games with gentle exploration and narrative. It sounds interesting and different.
A blu ray Old Blood for me, as the New Order was a incredible shooter, that had a lot of heart.
I won't be buying anything this week then
Currently I'm playing Driveclub, Shovelknight, Child of Light, Niddhogg and Watchdogs (Always like to keep a balance between new titles and backlog)
Being an owner of only a Vita made this poll very easy to answer.
wolfenstein old blood and project cars its going to be a good week
