Wolfenstein: The New Order Announced, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash Probably Not Involved

Announced earlier today, Bethesda is bringing us a new reason to walk another mile in B.J. Blazcowikz’s blood-soaked boots – Wolfenstein: The New Order. Set in alternate 1960′s where the Germans have won, there’s sure to be no shortage of Nazi blood to be shed. Wolfenstein has always been a personal favorite franchise of mine and I’m thrilled it’s coming back. Wolfenstein 3D is an undisputed classic.

[Featurama] The Next Step of Open World Games

The concept of the open world is the epitome of freedom in a game. Not only do players have the physical freedom to travel anywhere in the world, with barely any barriers or level loading screens, but also freedom in gameplay.
