The nights are growing darker, the mornings are getting frosty and that can only mean one thing: it's Shooter Season. Yes, the pre-Christmas build up of first-person mayhem and explosions is now officially under way as the annual COD release - Call of Duty: Ghosts - is finally here.

The campaign's setpiece highlights are stunning; COD still has the best deathmatch multiplayer of any shooter; Incredibly generous spread of online modes and maps

Very few surprises; Some technical rough edges and shrunken lobbies on older consoles; Cool campaign ideas from Black Ops II have been ignored

EGL relies on every iteration of Call of Duty being exactly what fans want, more than any other game. It's what takes centre stage at every LAN event and our midweek/weekend cups always contain a huge number of teams because gamers are highly active on Activision's most prized possession.

Reviewing a Call of Duty game is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman. Barely anyone believes or cares what you tell them about it, and you end up with sore thumbs regardless. Nevertheless, here we go.

The thing with most of the ‘bigger' titles being released right now is that we are getting current and next gen versions. Seeing as the PS4 and XBOX ONE aren't quite ready for shipping yet, we'll be looking at the current gen version, but hope to bring you coverage of the next gen version at some...

I am and always will be a Call of Duty fan no matter what they try to put out there next. In my opinion Call of Duty:Ghosts represents the slow demise of the Call of Duty Franchise. It's a good game overall, I just think that it is missing the regular Call of Duty feel to it.

Good Graphics Good Sound

Decent Gameplay Bad Multiplayer Terrible Campaign

Don't get me wrong, it's a well put together game that looks great on the surface. But once you get under it's skin it really is quite poor, so much in fact that if I were to get into it on here I'd have to spend more time than the game deserves.

I purchased this game for my husband as a birthday present, because he is a fan of the Call Of Duty games. I watched him play this game and was very impressed with the graphics of the game on the HD TV (husband also invested in a HD cable to connect X box to TV) All round very happy with my...

As the title suggests this game is more like Black ops than Modern Warfare. For all you people out there looking for a new story mode that is intense like only a cod game can be, you're in luck. Short as it is, as they all are, its great. Go for it if thats what you are after.

Campaign was (of course) short but quite engaging. Multiplayer was a slight improvement on previous versions but more of the same really. I still get smashed up by 10 year olds

We'll after all the hype what a disappointment. The graphics are great gameplay good but get onto multiplayer and it all goes downhill fast. The maps are too big with too many levels yet again a campers wet dream the good old demolition has gone to be replaced by below par games.
