Abstract: So, here we are. Another year, another Call of Duty title in the colossal franchise. This time around, we get an installment that sets itself apart from previous titles. Perhaps only by a small margin, but it’s enough to breathe fresh life into the lon...
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: The first new Call of Duty since the implosion of Infinity Ward and the exodus of the guys who created the franchise in the first place is going to be a critical one. Savvy gamers will know that the heart of what makes these games fun will leave the...

Abstract: When a franchise consistently delivers massively popular, high-quality games, each new entry in the series comes laden with expectation. Call of Duty: Black Ops has some big shoes to fill, but it does so admirably. The engrossing campaign is chock-full...
A polished refinement of the Call of Duty formula; offers a bevy of content that covers almost every expected base. Singleplayer campaign is satisfying, and the multiplayer has enough depth to keep fans engaged for a long time.
The singleplayer plot can be clumsy at times and they still haven’t completely eliminated those taxing moments where you have to throw lives away just to reach a specific checkpoint (they are relatively rare this time around though). You can also customize certain scopes with different optics to suit your individual preferences (Xbox 360) The Crossbow is a deadly weapon for stealthy wetworks; it
Thrilling variety throughout campaign, Fractured story creates an intriguing atmosphere, New multiplayer currency system is invigorating, Combat training lets anyone enjoy multiplayer excitement, Theater lets you share and enjoy triumphs and failures.
