We have an inkling that we might also discover a wheelchair which mysterious rolls by itself, the distant sound of crying children, and a murderous surgeon when Raven's Wolfenstein arrives August 4 on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, published by Activision.

At first, you may find Wolfenstein's Assassin enemy somewhat disconcerting, what with his mystical ability to materialize out of thin air and all. Just be glad you know want it wants--i.e., your death. I'm not going to name names or anything, but if someone "knows when you've been bad or good" and you have no idea why they're watching, well...

Wolfenstein is shaping up to be another Raven first person shooter.

Of course, this is not a bad thing, depending on your disposition: Raven has a made a name for itself as a dependable, if predictable studio. They typically manage to polish their shooters to an even finish, whether it be Jedi Outcast or Quake 4.

That being said, Wolfenstein (PC, 360, PS3) already seems a thoroughly developed title. As fans will expect, American hero B.J. Blazkowicz is back, along with Hitler, his Nazi crew, and plenty of supernatural weapons and enemies.
