Gentlemen! Ve are Nazis und ve vill have var!
I’ve got kind of a thing forWolfenstein 3D, since it was one of the first PC games I ever played, but also World War II and alternate histories in general. So excuse me while I indulge in some inappropriate levels of excitement about “Nowhere to Run,” the latestWolfenstein: The New Ordertrailer.
The trailer opens with Martha and the Vandellas’ “Nowhere to Run,” doing the whole juxtaposition of cheery pop song against dark imagery (Halloween IIdid this so well with “Knights in White Satin,” for real) and a soccer player getting shot in the face. Nazis hate soccer, and anything fun. More so than Nazi evilness, this trailer showcases some explosive future weaponry, as well as some nefarious Nazi experiments, which I want to see more of, a laFrankenstein’s Army. Also, mechs. Delicious mechs.
B.J. Blazkowicz is in rare form. ‘Cause no one can make him die. No one can make him cry. But you can buyWolfenstein: The New Orderon May 20 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Coincidentally, my birthday is May 18. And you might think this game is worth a dollar, but I think it’ll play like a millionaire. Plus, it’s spawned somepretty swanky ’60s-styled tunes.
