I am usually much further behind!

Recently I purchased Wolfenstein on PS3. I loved Return to Castle Wolfenstein and of course, the orginal Wolfenstein 3D. The new Wolfenstein game is pretty good. I wouldn’t say its as good as Halflife 2 or Fallout 3 but it is a very well put together game. It also looks fantastic. The game is open world-ish as you can travel around Isenstadt, your “home city” from mission to mission. Occasionally you can pick between missions you can start. So there is a certain level or choice, that said its still a pretty linear game.

In the game you can collect gold for weapon upgrades. If you missed doing this entirely you could beat the game but the game gets much more fun as you upgrade your weapons. The reason is you start kicking tons of Nazi ass when you upgrade your weapons. For instance, I am upgrading the sniper rifle currently. Its great to pick off people at a distance with one shot as well as affixing a bayonet to the gun and watching guys drop in one hit.

In a total abandonment of tradition, I went online to play Wolfenstein in deathmatch! Since its the PS3 version, when went online to play there was only one server with 3 people playing online! So I joined it. I was ranked about 4th in the mix until things got interesting and we had about 15 people in the match. I was about middle tier when I cut out of the game. It was surprised to find that it was so much fun to play online. I did better than I thought and may come back to play it online. I didn’t experience lag or or jitteriness so that was good.

If you haven’t at least tried the demo, id recommend you give it a shot. Demo on the PS3 and I believe XBOX 360 as well as PC.
