Having almost lost his life while trying to topple the nefarious General Deathshead, a Nazi scientist who conducted terrifying experiments on humans, melding man and machine, Blazkowicz ends up taking a shard of shrapnel to the back of his head for his trouble, earning himself fourteen years in a mental asylum in Poland. With robot dogs, robot soldiers, giant robot mechs that you can drive around for yourself, and in one of the earlier games, giant robot Hitlers, it's all fairly fantastical stuff - and it's into this almost post-apocalyptic environment that the somewhat unfortunately named BJ Blazkowicz finds himself thrust. We're Nazis on the moon (we carry a harpoon!)īut Wolfenstein is far from an accurate recreation of the path the war could have taken - instead, it's a kind of dark sci-fi game, set in a world where the Nazis have taken their genetic experiments to the next level. An alternate reality WW2 themed shooter, The New Order picks things up in 1946, as the Allies stage a last ditch assault on the Third Reich to begin a typical 'what if' scenario - what if the Nazis won the war? What if, rather than being defeated by the twin powers of an unexpectedly resilient British, and an unexpectedly harsh Russian winter, Hitler had somehow managed to win, pushing east and west around the world until practically the entire planet had fallen under Nazi rule? And forget about 1946 - what would things be like in the swinging 60s if the Nazis were in power, with flower power replaced by nuclear bombs, rainbows and colour replaced by grey Nazi concrete, and hippies trampled under jackboots?
