Last year around this time, we were frothing at the mouth over Call of Duty 2. But now, a year older and a little wiser, we expect more out of our Xbox 360 than some jazzy-looking smoke bombs. Fortunately, Call of Duty 3 adds just enough new features to bring us back for more. Call of Duty 3 is still the same straight-arrow, scripted, game-on-rails its predecessor was but developer Treyarch has refined this new iteration to such an extent that you'll barely notice the lack of freedom. You'll ...
Call of Duty 3 - updated hands-on
The powerhouse FPS is waging war on three consoles, and we have hands-on reports from all fronts
Oct 6, 2006
The Call of Duty franchise has already defined what a next-gen first-person shooter should be, winning FPS battles since the day the Xbox 360 launched. Activision and Treyarch won't be happy until they win the whole darn war, and showed us their firepower in a next-gen hands-on gameplay session at Activision headquarters in Santa Monica, CA. It's easy to see this series is hitting its stride. The people behind Call of Duty know that we want intense, memorable scenarios filled with carnage. We ...   » Read Full Call of Duty 3 preview
Call of Duty 3 - hands-on
It's just what you expect... but more so
Sep 19, 2006
Call of Duty has quickly jumped from being well-respected to a juggernaut. As of July, Call of Duty 2 was the most popular 360 game on Xbox Live, and there's a lot more scrutiny on the sequel. Activison isn't shying away from the piercing eyes, however. The company invited us to Paris, France to get our hands on the single and multiplayer - despite technical glitches and the threat of all-consuming jetlag ruining the experience. The good news is that these were mere distractions. Though Call ...   » Read Full Call of Duty 3 preview

War, what is it good for? Superb Xbox 360 sequels, it seems
Sep 19, 2006
Tuesday 19 September 2006 If there's one thing that Xbox 360 is good at it's war. And, based on an early version we've just played of the game, Call of Duty 3 isn't going to do that reputation any harm. As with its predecessors, Call of Duty 3's strength lies in its winning combination of accessibility, authenticity and atmosphere, all of which are in evidence in single-player stage The Island. This is the game's second chapter and part of the larger Normandy breakout in which Allied forces ...   » Read Full Call of Duty 3 preview

Call of Duty 2 is undeniably hot right now. Months after it became the 360's top launch title, it's still the number one game on Xbox Live. Can lighting strike twice? We know 360 gamers are hoping it can. But the PlayStation 3's release is also coming up and the situation is, in many ways, similar. If you're planning to buy one of those beasts, you're no doubt already wondering - what games am I going to pick up? The undying appeal of the World War II shooter, a series you're pretty sure you ...   » Read Full Call of Duty 3 preview

Call of Duty 3 improves on the franchise's already stellar legacy
Aug 8, 2006
It was a cold day in France. The rain was beating down something harsh, the enemies had an advantageous position, and we had one mission: get to the top of the hill. The problem was, for the most part, we were in a wide open valley with very little cover, and the enemies already occupied the few higher altitude positions there ...   » Read Full Call of Duty 3 preview
