I wrote 10 years ago that MachineGames did something almost beyond belief with Wolfenstein hero BJ Blazkowicz, turning him from an anonymous slab of bicep into a "magnificently human" character: a man clinging desperately to a dream that he knows in his soul has no happy ending." Wolfenstein: The New Order and its sequel, The New Colossus, were both ridiculously good: Fantastic shooters at the guns-and-guts level, elevated to greatness through their commitment to story and characters...

It's the 15th anniversary of MachineGames, the Swedish developer that most recently gave us the hit action adventure Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

We all love the excitement of a new launch, but coming to a great game after the fact might be even better. You can pick them up cheaply, often with all the DLC included, and they're much more likely to run smoothly with any major bugs ironed out. Right now, the two best Fallout games are heading up a bundle that includes more apocalyptic favorites such as Frostpunk and Wolfenstein, along with plenty of other excellent games. This 'special editions bundle' from Fanatical gives you the choice of what you want, and you'll get them all on Steam in their most complete forms for as low as $3 per ga

First-person shooters are one of the genres that's come to define gaming on PC. Between the rip-roaring action of a good gunfight, social interactions of an MMO, or the long-term decision-making of a strategy game, playing on our computers has been characterized by some key experiences. Prey, Titanfall 2, and Doom Eternal always come to my mind when I think of FPS games, as they're easily some of the best. If you want more shooters, then, this new Fanatical Bundle encourages you to choose only what you want, and you can grab each game for less than $2. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LIN

A QuakeCon sale gives you huge discounts on many top series from the legendary studios behind some of the best FPS games. Along with Doom and Quake creator id Software, Bethesda (now a part of Microsoft) also comprises Wolfenstein developers Machine Games, Dishonored and Deathloop maker Arkane Studios, and Tango Gameworks, the studio behind The Evil Within and Hi-Fi Rush. Now, that huge catalogue gets some equally massive discounts to celebrate the upcoming QuakeCon. Read the rest of the story...

The new Indiana Jones game from Wolfenstein studio MachineGames and Bethesda's Todd Howard apparently has an amazing pitch, with Howard also wanting to get the game made for over a decade. As far as action-adventure games go, it could be one of Bethesda's best, whenever it does come out. Howard's a little busy preparing for the Starfield release date right now, though.

Wolfenstein: The New Order rebooted the classic FPS series back in 2014, turning it into a tonally incoherent, ultra-violent sometime-stealth 'em up about murdering robo-Nazis in an alternate 1960s. It was surprisingly great. It's also free to keep if you grab it from the Epic Games Store right now. Read more

In 2014, MachineGames brought William 'B.J.' Blazkowicz back from purgatory in Wolfenstein: The New Order, pitting him against a Nazi war machine that had conquered the world in an alternate 1960s. You can get it for free right now on the Epic Games Store... Read more.

Videogames have a long history of using World War 2 as a backdrop, but the Holocaust goes virtually untouched. It's not surprising: By and large, games designed as entertainment—often comical or at least unserious entertainment—and the mass murder of six million human beings in pursuit of a racist ideology doesn't suit that intention. To mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Sarah and Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Center will take a look at one game that does focus on the Holocaust: The Light in the Darkness, an "educational historical experience" abou
