Review Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (PS5) - Bloated, Undercooked, and Outdated All at Once
Nostalgia trick
We've reached a point in time where one can be nostalgic for the PS3 generation, and Activision is banking on that with all its might to sell Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Rather than a new line-up of multiplayer maps, this year's entry is a strange amalgamation of the past, as all of the weapons and playable characters from 2022's...
Review Call of Duty: Vanguard (PS5) - More Safe But Solid FPS Action
There's no Stalin this train
If Activision could pick and choose when the Call of Duty series is hot or not, this would be the year where it goes all guns blazing. The publisher faces more competition than usual as Battlefield 2042 and Halo Infinite go toe to toe with its premier FPS, tussling for both mindshare and your time. Consumers are spoilt...
Review Call of Duty: WWII - Safe FPS Is Still a Solid Historical Shooter
Right as Rhine?
Republished on Monday 28th May 2020: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of June's PlayStation Plus lineup. The original text follows. Each Call of Duty since Modern Warfare 2 has put the player in higher positions of power. Whether you’re the unspoken, do-it-all he
Review Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Ascendance (PlayStation 4)
Fastest food
You know that the world has really hit the skids when zombies take over a fast food restaurant, the last bastion of all that is good in our western society. The blank stares, the lust for blood, the senseless grunting – all of that is gone, replaced by hordes of the undead. In the latest slice of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare DLC,...
Review Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Havoc (PlayStation 4)
Eating John Malkovich
If there's one thing that was missing from every previous Call of Duty DLC pack, it was the ability to play as that one guy from the first two seasons of The Walking Dead. Also, John Malkovich, whose performance as himself in Being John Malkovich was the part that he was born to play. Celebrity cameos aside, Havoc adds some of...
Review Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (PlayStation 4)
Technologic
Set around 40 years from now, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare attempts to show us a world that's more reliant on technology than ever. It's a fictional period that has its roots in reality, and it's a premise that's relatively believable. While armies and private military corporations with access to walking tanks and hulking mech suits...

Interview Discussing the Music of Call of Duty: WWII with composer Wilbert Roget II
Answering the call of music
Recently, we got the chance to sit down and discuss the process behind composing the soundtrack for Call of Duty: WWII’s soundtrack, with its composer Wilbert Roget II, who's no stranger to working on games. We dove deep into some of the finer points of the score, and got a glimpse behind the curtain at his process and...
Hands On Does Call of Duty: WWII Bring The European Theatre Back to Life?
V for Victory
Interestingly enough, we had a lot of positive things to say about Call of Duty: Black Ops III's multiplayer when it was going through its beta. We liked how it was a middle ground between the so-called “boots on the ground” playstyle and Advanced Warfare's twitchy, movement-based skill. However, we came to loathe the...
E3 2017 Call of Duty: WWII Storms in With Gritty Gameplay
Go akimbo
Belgium. The Soviet Union. Germany. Call of Duty: WWII is aiming to portray the theatre of war that was World War II, and its latest gameplay trailer accomplishes just that by showing us the myriad battlefields we'll traverse through all the carnage with devastated cities, muddy trenches, and snowy forests. While this seems a minor detail...
News Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Will Hold a Hefty Hunk of Your PS4's Hard Drive Hostage
You'll need lots of Spacey
The PlayStation 4 may come packed with 500GB of internal storage, but if you're like us, and enjoy indulging in as many games as possible, this probably isn't enough room. Joining a recent cavalcade of absurdly large downloads, Call of Duty's latest annual outing will hold approximately 43GB of your PS4's hard drive space...
First Impressions What's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's Frontline of the Future Like on PS4?
Time to respawn
The Call of Duty series is perhaps one of the most popular yet widely criticised franchises in the modern era of gaming. Fans of the brand adore the game to its core, playing every iteration for countless hours on a quest to reach the maximum prestige; others feel quite opposed to the series and the impact that it has made on the...
