John takes a look at the latest DLC for Black Ops 2. More maps, more zombies and plenty more in our full review.

+ Well designed maps; + Mob of the Dead is great

Still think the price is a little steep

The Escalation map pack contains four new maps and a bonus zombie map. Time to peel yourself off of the sofa again for some Black Ops mayhem. By now, most of you may have peeled yourself away from other games, downloaded the Escalation map pack whilst biting your lip at the 1200 points you've just...

Human nature suggests that we should be sick of Call of Duty by now. Black Ops is the series' sixth game in as many calendar years on Xbox 360, and we'd be well within our rights as gamers to not care about it anymore.

Sure, both of the Modern Warfare games are considered pinnacles of the current generation's first-person shooter genre, but that doesn't mean that Treyarch's efforts ( Call of Duty 3, Call of...

As the first Call of Duty game since the split between mega publisher Activision and the talented team at Infinity Ward, there was a lot riding on the back of Black Ops . Could Call of Duty as we know it continue to exist even without the original partnership that produced the best titles in the...

Black Ops 2's latest map pack isn't quite as ostentatious with its settings as Uprising, which is a huge shame. There'll be no more mechanical dinosaurs to camp by, no lava to hilariously strafe into, and you won't be able to stare at The Shard in the distance and imagine Alan Sugar huffing around.
