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 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...

Well, cover me with explosives and detonate at will! Another Call of Duty game is upon us. Yes, as dreary as it sounds, Activision and the folks at Treyarch made one more addition to the long-running shooter series, which boasts an impressive financial success each and every year.

Every piece is in place here; the story, the characters, the atmosphere, the music, sounds and voices and, of course, the gameplay

Again; we feel that the CoD recipe needs some new elements; we have grown tired of the same old mechanics; and yes; the campaign may still be too short for some gamers

Treyarch's got some big shoes to fill. They're no stranger to the franchise, but the pressure is on them now that they seem to be the primary developers of the series unless Activision somehow revives Infinity Ward with an infusion of talent.

All-in-all the game is good but it could have been better. The main problem I found was the highly frustrating hill mission which could have been fixed very simply. The lack of multiplayer maps is also a pain especially since everyone tends to vote for the same two over and over but there will be...

Action packed campagin; Gorgeous locations; Feature packed mutliplayer mode

Few problems with game direction; Lack of multiplayer maps

Il y a tout juste une année et un jour, Infinity Ward a été largement récompensé pour son travail accompli sur Modern Warfare 2, un titre exceptionnel doté d'une impressionnante longévité et d'une mise en scène hollywoodienne.

Le mode Replay; Énorme durée de vie; Un scénario enfin digne; L'excellent univers sonore; Une inspiration artistique de premier plan; Le mode multi-joueurs complet; jouissif et équilibr

Quelques imprécisions militaires; Le mode Vétéran frustrant par moments; Le Combat Training inaccessible hors ligne; Susceptible de ruiner ou d'affecter grandement la vie sociale

- The Call of Duty franchise is one of the most heralded in the first person shooter genre. So when the announcement of a new game for the franchise comes around it's always a major event and there's a lot of hype and expectations that come with it. Will the multiplayer be amazing?

When I got Call of Duty Black Ops for Christmas I was THRILLED! Many of my friends pre-ordered it as i have with MW3 and Halo 4 but i was expecting a great game and that is definitely what i received.

As it begins, your name is Alex Mason and you're sitting in an interrogation chair, getting electric shocks and being asked about a man called Dragovich while random numbers flash up in front of you on a screen. What do they mean?

Treyarch has played second fiddle to the ego-maniacal efforts of Infinity Ward for too long and Black Ops is the violent and inevitable coup we'd seen coming since World at War rocked out and Modern Warfare 2 arrogantly exploded onto PCs.

CODP is an awesome addition to multiplayer; The multiplayer is really well balanced; Singleplayer story is well written; Voice acting is largely spot on

A little lack of polish in parts; Nuketown map flat out broken
