Wolfenstein (2009)

by Raven Software, Activision
Platforms:
PC (Microsoft Windows), Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Genres:Shooter
Themes:Open world, Action, Fantasy, Historical, Science fiction, Stealth
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:
Wolfenstein is the direct sequel to Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Spear of Destiny/Wolfenstein RPG. It featured a "re-imagined" disguised dark-haired B.J. Blazkowicz, retaining the unshaven look seen in Return to Castle Wolfenstein and dressed in civilian clothes rather than his usual military uniform. The game mainly consists of the player shooting his way through hordes of different types of Nazis, ranging from normal soldier to ninjas. To deal with the large amount of enemies, the player has access to many typical WWII-weapons like the German MP40 or K98 rifle. In addition, during the course of the game he finds the medallion and learns four powers. While at first entering the Veil only allows him so see enemies more clearly and use strange flying creatures as bombs, he is later able to slow down time, surround himself with a protective shield or make himself stronger. However, the medallion's powers drain its energy, which needs to be refilled at power-spots that are nearly invisible in the real world.

The black-magic era of Wolfenstein from the "early to late" 00s. This was the magic time of gaming when developers started to crank out some amazing games on the 360/PS3. We had just had Return to Castle Wolfenstein on the OG Xbox and Raven software was on a roll with the sequel/reboot that is now lost to time. As someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s and came of each and had my formative years during the explosion of AOL and dial-up internet, Wolfenstein, Spear of Destiny, etc were THE THINGS. The collection will not be complete until all are preserved for future generations to play on their own hardware, protected from vanishing storefronts that only cater to the latest, greatest and most bug-prone software. Let's go!

It is one of the most interesting takes on the Wolfenstein universe, more dark and omnious than the rest of it. It's also one of the few games using the idTech4 engine.

I so much want this game people. I remember playing this game on my first PC back in 2010. It was dope. At that time, the only copy I could get was a non-genuine copy. Since that time, I have been purchasing nearly every game that is available for sale. This will be one of them. This game is so cool !!

Wolfenstein (2009) belongs on GOG Wolfenstein (2009) has not been sold digitally since it was removed from Steam on May 5, 2014. If you want a legal copy today, you are looking at a used PC, Xbox 360, or PlayStation 3 disc. Raven Software developed it. Activision published it. It runs on id Tech 4 and continues from Return to Castle Wolfenstein: B.J. Blazkowicz, the town of Isenstadt, and the Veil. It was not a huge commercial success, and reviews were mixed. MachineGames later started a new chapter with The New Order. None of that is a good reason for the 2009 game to disappear from storefronts. Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein 3D are already on GOG. This entry is the missing official follow-up in that library, and it is on the GOG Dreamlist for a reason. A DRM-free PC release would let people own the campaign without hunting secondhand discs. The old complication was split rights between Activision and id/ZeniMax. Microsoft now owns both sides of that split. A careful listing — clearly titled Wolfenstein (2009), sold as the original game rather than a replacement for the later series — would close a real gap. Please put it on GOG, next to the games it was built to follow.

I remember playing this game on a Windows XP PC, back when my PC couldn't handle much, and yet this game ran like a dream. I thought it was REALLY GOOD. After a somewhat... slow start, the paranormal stuff kicked in and IT WAS GREAT. It's a bit strange that GOG, with ROCW, The New Order, and its sequel, doesn't have this game, which came out in between.

Such a shame that this is the only game in the series which was completely abandoned and forgotten. For me it's my favorite Wolfenstein. You don't just progress from one level to another. At some point the game indeed becomes linear, but there is a chunk of the game where you get to choose from multiple missions. The mission themselves, as well as level design, weapons and enemies are absolutely the best and most climatic. I can still remember the first time I met the invisible trooper and heard his eerie laughter. The esoteric elements make the story really intriguing and add very interesting mechanics to the game.

I want this game on GOG as it is a game most players can never experience due to it being abandonware currently. The game was delisted years ago for copyright reasons, so it likely won't be added. In other words, don't keep your hopes up, as it is a 1% chance it would ever be accepted.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
