Genre: First-Person Shooter
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Raven Software
Release Date: August 13, 2009
If there is one game that we have to thank for first-person shooters, it is Wolfenstein 3D. Despite being by any modern standards an extremely archaic game, it is the first FPS of any note, and it introduced a lot of the staples of the genre in some form or another, from secret rooms to the never-ending fun of fighting supernatural Nazi creations. While the franchise never quite reached the same popularity as Doom, the original Wolfenstein 3D is still a fondly remembered game.
Despite all the horrors, pain and suffering that come right along with war, despite all the needless death, there is still one incontrovertible truth: war is very, very good for business. Most especially when your sole business is war.
