Call of Duty: Ghosts released earlier this month for current generation consoles and later for PlayStation 4; learn more about the Xbox 360 version by reading our original Call of Duty: Ghosts review .

Call of Duty: Ghosts has been one of the most awaited titles of its franchise, so little wonder it was the highest pre-ordered game of 2013. The first Call of Duty game was released in 2003, and from the time we played the original title we have seen developers Infinity Ward, with assistance from...

This year's Call of Duty is neither a return to Vietnam with the Black Ops series, nor a return to the fierce battlegrounds of Modern Warfare. It is also not a return to the World War II setting initially popularised by the series.

At this stage Call of Duty: Ghosts has been out on current-gen consoles for the better part of a week, and you've likely read a host of reviews detailing the gameplay experience on either PS3 and Xbox 360, as well as mentions of the game running on PS4. You've probably even read a PC review or two.
