Abstract: Treyarch gets a bad wrap for being the developer responsible for the non-Infinity Ward Call of Duty games. Sure, both of the Modern Warfare games are considered pinnacles of the current generation’s first-person shooter genre, but that doesn’t mean tha...
Abstract: It's that time of the year again. November is officially designated Call of Duty month. It's the reason why this time of the year no longer has a huge saturation of top-quality games, as publishers scrabble to steer clear of Activision's almighty ent...

Call of Duty: Black Ops is a great overall package that has a ton of content to enjoy. The multiplayer modes are largely based on what was established by Modern Warfare, but the twists that Treyarch throws in work well. My biggest issue with the multip...
Abstract: Treyarch continues their excellence with the series.War. War never changes. Well at least it doesn't in Activision's universe. Back in 2007 the way we played first person shooters was changed forever (especially mulitplayer). What Infinity Ward did to ...
