Blazkowicz, a United States Office of Secret Actions (OSA) ranger sent on special mission into the heart of the Reich to investigate evidence of Nazi possession of a new & mysterious weapon.

Wolfenstein (PS3) Review
If you’re an old-school gamer like me who remembers the old PC game of a cool GI named BJ Blazkowicz as he took on Nazis and a mechanized Adolph Hitler in a creepy castle, you will know that the Wolfenstein series hasn’t lost its funky sci-fi feel. While it’s strange to see a WWII-themed shooter with supernatural monsters and SS officers with ray guns, it certainly beats storming the beaches of Normandy all over again. This is what we love about Wolfenstein and why Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War was so cool I couldn’t stop playing it on the original Xbox long after I finished the single-player campaign.
Right away you’ll notice that this isn’t a linear on-rails first-person shooter where you follow the story from mission to mission. The minute you open up your journal to look at the map of Isenstadt, you will realize that you are free to roam the quiet streets to shop at a Black Market dealer, explore streets and sewers for collectible items and accept missions from members of a resistance group ready to kick Hitler’s SS troops out of their town.
The main campaign missions will take you through numerous situations that not only aid the resistance movement but also have you discovering the
supernatural element behind the Thule as well as the medallion you carry. Your mission will take you through various locales in town as well as outside town such as a local mine. You’ll be shooting your way in town as well as the German soldiers attempt to draw you out and many of them using tech such as anti-gravity canisters that, when tossed right, will lift everything within its blast radius. You’ll be watching Nazis flailing their arms about and ripe for the shooting.
The real treat comes in using the Veil Powers the Thule Medallion grants BJ. You start off with Veil Sight (which allows you to see the parallel world and find secret portals you can walk through); then there’s Mire (that allows you to slow time down and, with an upgrade, stop time altogether for a few seconds). The best powers come later in the game such as Shield (stops bullets and, later, destroys anything within the shield radius) and Empower (when activated, your bullets can go through anything).
