Well, this looks like fun! Any Indy fan who also enjoys video games is undoubtedly familiar with the Wolfenstien franchise. Coming to next-gen consoles is the latest entry into this fps series of supernatural nazi slaying games, this one is named simply, "Wolfenstein".

Here's a link to the trailer and accompanying article at g4tv.com.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the game's relevence to actual history, I direct you to this Indy-related blurb from the article:
“When you take into account the science fiction and the mysticism, calling Wolfenstein a good WWII game is like calling the original Indiana Jones a great WWII movie.”

...which is in no way a bad thing.

Yesss! I can't wait to play this game! Return to Castle Wolfenstein was great, this will hopefully be the same. I hope this sells well so game developers will make more games like this. I'd love to see a more WW2 games with supernatural or Sci-Fi elements.

The character does have a bit of a Jonesy feel to him. The score beginning at 1:32 in the latest trailer sounds a little like the music at Akator, when the obelisk comes together. I can't help but think that one of the accompanying shots afterwards is meant to drive this point home.

Apparently the official website will also offer webisodes soon. I can only speculate as to the content, but if I had to guess, it would say "behind the scenes"/"making of" type of stuff.

At 1:00 in the trailer it appears to be holding the 80's electronic game Simon Says.

The main site's Graphic Novel Webisode 2 retells the 1992 installment, Spear of Destiny.

USA Today says "Wolfenstein opens with a nod to the Indiana Jones films" ...what exactly?
