Shippin’ Out Aug. 16-22: Wolfenstein, Shadow Complex
With the official end of summer nearly a month away, game releases will begin to heat up. Until they do, gamers can look forward to a number of shooting titles this week, including Raven Squad, Shadow Complex, and–most notably–Wolfenstein.
A whole new meaning to stormtrooper and blitzkrieg.
Developed by Raven Software under the supervision of id Software, Wolfenstein is a sequel to the 2001 shooter Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The new game drops players into the army boots of B.J. Blazkowicz, who is once again sent behind enemy lines to thwart Hitler’s occult ambitions. For this go-around, players will harness the power of a sought-after artifact to combat Hitler’s own freakish army of evil. Wolfenstein features robust online gameplay that includes three modes: Team Deathmatch, Objective, and Stopwatch.
