look at those shader effects!

Of the many things we wish were better about the most recent Call of Duty game’s singleplayer campaign, it’s surely the amount of fur on the dog. You’ll be glad to hear that’s been rectified. (more…)

It probably requires so much RAM to generate all of those hyper-complex dog emotions.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is a lot of things (a game, a shooter, a faithful recreation of Michael Bay’s entire filmography), but a graphical powerhouse isn’t one of them.

Call Of Duty: Ghosts is available now. We weren’t given any review code before release, so I’ve just started playing its single-player campaign this afternoon. About two to three hours in, I’m ready to provide you with some impressions. Will this be the CoD to win us back over? To realise the potential of such a massive budget, and remember what made the original Call Of Duty 1 and 2 such incredibly special games? Will I grow a rollercoaster out of my face and gargle fireplaces? Find out below.>
