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.
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).
Come on guys, the reason this game stopped being available was because Activision lost the licensing rights, but Activision and Bethesda are both owned by Microsoft now so what's the problem any more?
Sniper Elite V2Sniper Elite V2 is the eagerly-awaited sequel to the highly-acclaimed Sniper Elite, giving gamers the most authentic World War II sniping experience available. You are elite US sniper Karl Fairburne. Parachuted into Berlin amidst the Germans’ final stand, your mission is to prevent Nazi V2 rocket program technology from falling into the hands of the besieging Red Army. You must aid key scientists keen to defect to the US, and terminate those who would help the Russians.
Take advantage of authentic weaponry, learn how to stalk your targets, fortify your position, set up the shot, use your skill, patience and cunning to achieve your mission. Stealth gameplay is the key as you find yourself trapped between two desperate armies in a race against time. Watch as the celebrated ‘bullet cam’ from Sniper Elite returns, bloodier and more gruesome than ever – skilful shots are rewarded with a slow-motion flight of the bullet, then targets are graphically rendered in X-Ray as the bullet enters and destroys your victim. Organs shred, bones splinter, teeth shatter, as the true impact of the sniper’s bullet is brought to life.
As World War Two ends and the Cold War begins, every shot counts. Use it wisely.Action Historical Warfare Stealth

Medal of HonorOperating directly under the National Command Authority, a relatively unknown entity of handpicked warriors are selected when it is crucial that a mission must not fail. They are the Tier 1 Operators. There are over 2 million active soldiers. Of those, approximately 50 thousand fall under the direct control of the Special Operations Command.
The Tier 1 Operator functions on a level above and beyond even the most highly trained Special Operations Forces. Their exact numbers, while classified, hover in the low hundreds. They are living, breathing, precision instruments of war. They are experts in the application of violence.
The new Medal of Honor is inspired by and developed with actual Tier 1 Operators from this elite community. Players step into the boots of these warriors and apply their unique skill sets to fight a new enemy in the most unforgiving and hostile conditions of present day Afghanistan.Action Stealth
