Wolfenstein 3D (1992) - Video Game Review

Official Score = 2 1/2 Devils

This  one I am going to say is probably one of your more non-traditional horror video games... I mean it is not entirely a horror video game in an of itself... But I thought that I would do it because of it's horrific overtones, and that video game is... Wolfenstein 3D (1992)!

Now before I continue with this, I should also say this, I haven't played the first two games, but as it turns out, this game is the third in the franchise... And although it is true that this maybe the first and only game in the series that I have played, it is still one of those first person shooter games, that well... back int he early 1990s was truly impressive!

Wolfenstein 3D... A classic from the early 90s!

You see, this game, which was initially developed by: Id Software & Published by: Apogee Software, told the world a truly fun story that you as the player got to play through... You see, in this game you play an American/Polish Secret Agent during world war 2... During this time you fight through one level after the other battling all sorts and kinds of big baddies that the Nazi's will throw at you!

In the end, if anything... For nostaligc purposes, the game is surely worth playing, but I tried it a few years ago when I found out that I could download on it on to my XBox 360... And in all honestly... The controls were hard to work with... To the point where for me, it made the game no where near as fun as it used to be... Either way, it is worth trying if you get a chance!

Five Classic, 'First Person Shooter' Computer Games Of The 90s That Rocked Before The Rest Of The World Caught On

On today's video game systems, people generally seem to thoroughly enjoy, 'first person shooter' video games... And why not? I mean these games rock, and as time goes on, with better graphics and more interactive game play. these games just generally seem to be getting better and better!

But before games like, 'Call Of Duty' came out, generally speaking, first person shooters generally tended to be left in the back row... Relegated to computer games and lesser console games, but I thought for those of you that may not remember these games, and for those of you  who are to young to have played these games when they were first popular... I thought that I would discuss what I believe are five defining first person shooter games that rocked before the rest of the world caught on:

At number 5: Heretic (1994).

At number 4: Wolfenstein 3D (1992).

At number 3: Doom (1993).

At number 2: Duke Nukem 3D (1996).

At number 1: Quake (1996).

There are a lot more out there, but for those of you out there who are like me, who truly enjoyed these games, before the rest of the world caught on to the awesomeness that is the first person shooter game... I hope you enjoyed this walk down memory lane... And if you have never played these games, give them a try... They are a blast!
