I’m sure you all remember the old school “Wolfenstein 3D” game that debuted in 1992, I believe it was one of the very first, “first person shooting” games in the history of video games. Duke Nukem was not the first, it was Wolfenstein, I think. Wolfenstein is a WWII based game where you go around shooting Nazis.
There’s a brand new “Wolfenstein” game in the works right now, simply titled “Wolfenstein”. It’s not a remake of the older game, it’s actually another sequel. A game leaving off 2001’s “Return to Castle Wolfenstein”. In this game you not only get to fight Nazis, you get to fight against demons too.
Check out the first look of the new Wolfenstein game that could possibly get released to your PC’s/PS3’s/Xbox360 sometime in 2009:

Back in high school in my computer class, I used to play that Wolfenstein 3D game all the time when the teacher allows students to play games at the end of class.
I’m looking forward to this game. Glad a new Wolfenstein is coming out.

I think that the first FPS was actually Catacomb 3-D, also by id software. I just wrote an article on Wolf 3d, if you like to check it out.
