The latest DLC pack for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Continuum, has just dropped and, although it doesn’t quite reach the heights of the superb previous
I simply can’t go on..this is too painful. Look, I know this is a short review but there isn’t much to say. If you like FPS games or even had a passing interest in the genre..go buy this game. I have no doubt it will be FPS Game of the Year in several magazines and will stand as one of the greats…bastards! Now this review is over..get that camera out of my face!! I need a drink and a bad game…
For those wanting a very traditional boots-on-the-ground campaign experience, Modern Warfare delivers. It’s a fun campaign to play through, but it moves at such a breakneck pace you have no time to digest any of the tough questions it’s posing. It’s much grittier and more realistic than anything Infinity Ward has done before, showing the player the harsh realities its characters deal and interact with. It just would have been better if the writers had spent more time actually fleshing out those characters and the story.

From 1945 through to 1991, the world existed in a state of perpetual tension as two superpowers – The Soviet Union and the United States – vied for control over the planet and its resources. Now, as the world heads into a second Cold War between the United States and China thanks to a monumental failure of leadership in the US over the past four years, Activision figured it was time to toss out Cold War propaganda to remind us that the United States is the righteous good guy and therefore inherently justified in whatever actions it might take.
