The game that started the popular first-person shooter genre was Wolfenstein 3D from Id Software. Wolfenstein was released for PC in 1992 and almost ten years later, the sequel is nearly upon us. Activision has just put up a demo of the multi-player game up on their website.
In Return to Castle Wolfenstein you play as B.J. Blazkowicz a member of the Office of Secret Actions. You must infiltrate Hitler’s Third Reich to battle the super-soldiers, zombies and mutants that lie within. You’d heard rumours of the creatures that were being created, but you won’t believe them until you see them.

“Set against the backdrop of the greatest conflict the world has ever known, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is poised to deliver a deep, team-based multiplayer gaming experience, in addition to an amazing single-player campaign,” states Larry Goldberg, executive vice president of Activision Worldwide Studios. “The varied countryside of World War II-era Germany lends itself to a wide array of game scenarios that will provide both machinegun maniacs and silent assassins with virtually limitless replayability.”
