Every year since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare arrived in 2007 (yes, it really did release that long ago), I've played and enjoyed another installment in the Call of Duty series. Now, here I am in 2016, having just finished up with Call of Duty: Black Ops III , and guess what?

With the return of zombies, the excellent multiplayer suite and basically two campaigns to go through, Black Ops III offers a lot of content for fans.

This massive, wonderfully diverse Call of Duty theme park is best enjoyed with a friend (or three). Going alone dampens the fun, but either way it's still worth the price of admission.

Great mileage from each game mode; Thrusters and specialist abilities are super fun; Cooperative play for almost every mode

Can feel tedious when playing alone; Thrusters are tragically underutilized

Call of Duty: Black Ops III takes more risks than we're used to seeing from the long-running military first person shooter series. Some of them pay off, while others don't. This year's Zombies Mode is so creative that it turns out to be, by far, the best it's ever been.

I wasn't as crazy about the story in Call of Duty: Black Ops III as I have been about some past games in the series. That said though, I'm probably in the minority in that it actually counted as a strike against the game.

Overall, Black Ops 3 may have a weakened campaign, but a solid multiplayer and great Zombie mode more than make up for it. Treyarch still has what it takes to make Call of Duty enjoyable, and make the current-gen versions worth having.

Confession: I have never played a Call of Duty game. Because of this, we thought it might be interesting if I played this one, because with a huge franchise, it's nice to let a player that might be jumping in for the first time know what that's like.

Fun. Looks and plays well, just not as good as black ops 2

This game is a good time for the new player and the experienced gamer. The new abilities with running on walls adds some new challenges and possibilities. If you like the zombie mode on the other call of duty games, you'll love the new one that they have added.

zombies is more challenging and fast paced

can't have 4 players on the same xbox

The places you'll go Treyarch still has it, and outside of one weak map, the fourth add-on closes out the saga in a more than sufficient manner. You are logged out. Login | Sign up Let's start with the worst of the lot -- Rupture.
