O you heard me right folks, the old classic Castle Wolfenstein as been redone with some Lego flair. Nothing beats gutting a Lego man with a knife, except perhaps shooting one with a bazooka. Wolfenstein was one of the first FPS games I can recall playing so i can’t help but smile while watching a Lego version, maybe we can look forward to seeing even more of these Lego style games.
Hit the jump for some bazooka action.

I have spent quite a bit of time playing Halo 3 the last few days and I realized that I am one rusty mofo! It also got me thinking about what really is important to be good at a first person shooter. At first I blamed not knowing the maps, then I blamed not playing for a while, then I thought I just sucked, then I thought it was the random teams I was put into, but I realized that there was probably some truth to all of the above. I have seen improvement with more play time but got me thinking about what exactly people think is the most important factor to be successful at playing and winning at first person shooters like Halo, CounterStrike, Team Fortress, etc.

In an interview Id Software’s Todd Hollenshead, the Quake and Doom creator,talked about working on a new gaming franchise powered by a brand “new engine” from developer John Carmack. The interesting part is that the scope of this new game and engine was described as “it’s not Doom, it’s not Quake, it’s not Wolfenstein, it’s not Enemy Territory, it’s not even Commander Keen.” Shiet then what is it? We can only speculate that there could be a possible Doom/Quake inspired MMORPG, (when in doubt just speculate) what do you think?
