Wolfenstein (2009)

by Raven Software, Activision
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.Show more

The game shares more black magic, as did 'Return to castle Wolfenstein', but you as the player get to choose what type to use and when. I particularity liked the veil. Such a shame Activision pulled it from the shelves. I solely have a Windows 7 machine just for playing it and nothing else. I want this game on GOG as the copy protection prevents it from working on Windows 10 / 11.
It was one of mine and my grandpa's favorites games before he passed in 2014 He recommended it to me when I was still in high school, and upon playing it i was hooked, it was one of the things we used to talk about all the time

Wolfenstein (2009) is an entry in the series which introduces characters featured in later Wolfenstein games (The New Order and onwards) - specifically, Caroline Becker. Since the later games are already available on GOG, I think it would be a good idea to reintroduce Wolfenstein (2009) to the store's offer so the full story can be experienced by the fans of the series.
This is such an underrated game, pretty sure due to the nauseous movement of the camera, but after some tweaks, everything else its a major improvement over Return to Castle Wolfenstein: the story, the weapons, the powers... it's an absolutely shame how badly crashed when was released (again, I bet all my fortune it was the camera movement because it was the first time in over 30 years of gaming, that a FPS make me feel sick) and I feel now its time for revindication and to give it a proper place of honor among the rest of the games in this series.

Why this one has so many low votes? C'mon, make it happen, this is my favorite game of the franchise! Insane weapons, fast gameplay, no stealth missions, mystical power, everything!

this game was soo god and you can't find it anymore. i completed 100%. loved the exploration. probably one of the best wolfenstein games in the series. please gog bring this gem back to the public
This game isn't my favorite, but it's important as it is canon to the later games. Characters like Caroline make their appearance in Wolfenstein 09, but yet since you can't play this game, that means part of the story is lost (not that the story is anything to write home about, but still).

Not the best Wolfenstein, but too good to be forgotten. Now that all involved companies are under one umbrella, there should be no unsolvable rights issues preventing this game from being on GOG.
I played this on xbox 360. and was the last good game raven software made before activision ate them up. Really loved the look and feel. Like the pace compared to the new wolfenstein games.
Those games also need your vote!

The Saints have now become a household name, and their leader has become the president of the Unites States. The antagonists in Saints Row 4 are an invading alien race known as the Zin. Most of the game takes place within a computer simulation of the city of Steelport controlled by the Zin, where the protagonist is attempting to free himself and his companions.

Medal of Honor: European Assault
Medal of Honor: European AssaultThere are four overall areas the player (as Lt. William Holt) will be sent to: France, North Africa, the Soviet Union and Belgium. Each area has a set of missions for the player to complete. While some objectives will be detailed from the start, exploration of the area will cause Holt to discover more missions. Each mission consists of five elements: a primary objective, secondary objectives, killing a German officer (Nemesis battle in the game), obtaining documents from the officer and escaping. If all are completed, a gold medallion will be given. Missing one or two will gain a silver or bronze. Most missions involve Holt fighting alongside allied NPCs and working towards a common objective, often based on historical events during WWII. However, as a member of the OSS, Holt also has secondary objectives for each level, including finding documents and eliminating important German officers, such as henchmen belonging to the antagonist Graf Von Schrader.
