Come on people, how hard can it be to make a good Wolfenstein 3D advertisement? Last November we cringed at the blatant racism found in a Wolfenstein 3D advertisement, and now I'm stuck with another commercial that offends my sense of taste. Thankfully this advertisement isn't nearly as bad as what we're used to, but it still brings up a lot of interesting questions. For example, I would like to know what happened to this guy's eyes. Either that is too much make-up or is he missing an eye? In fact, for a guy in the middle of a war zone he has a nice and clean look to him. It looks to me like his hair has been washed with both shampoo and conditioner, and those clothes look pretty fresh if you ask me. What is this guy's secret?

But forget all of that for a minute, perhaps the strangest thing about this advertisement are the two different quotes. One of them states, "Fun Factor -5.0". Negative 5.0?? That's terrible! I didn't even think they could give games negatives; it almost makes you want to play the game to find out what makes the fun factor so damn bad. The other quote goes as far as to give it a -10, which is really mean. Even if the game is terrible it still doesn't deserve the harsh criticism, and why anybody would put these terrible scores in an advertisement is beyond me.

And what's going on with those guns? This is World War II; you're doing your best to kill a certain madman named Hitler. So why does he have contemporary weapons? I've played enough World War II first-person shooters to know what guns they did and did not have, and I'm pretty sure this guy is packing some futuristic heat. What are these advertisements trying to hide? It seems like the Wolfenstein 3D ad campaign is going out of its way to distance itself from World War II. At least this version of the commercial isn't racist.
