It may seem nearly inconceivable to members of Generation Z, but there was a time in the not-too-distant past during which Call of Duty was a respectable franchise produced and published by a team which only chose to iterate on the property when necessary. Today, it’s anything but that, and gamers are so bogged down with multiplayer-focused faux-military FPS titles that it’s getting difficult to tell some of them apart. Black Ops II looks a lot like Black Ops III, and Black Ops III, looks a lot like Infinite Warfare, and that cycle seems to continue almost endlessly....

Over the course of its 33 seasons, The Simpsons has featured countless characters. While some of them have been incredibly forgettable and only made a handful of appearances, others have gone on to become real fan favorites.

While most of these characters still appear regularly on the show, there are some who are no longer with us....

The last time I purchased a Call of Duty game, it was the year 2012, and the game was Black Ops 2. Back then, I was still in high school, and it was customary for my friends and I to go to the midnight release at GameStop, play the game all night, and skip school the next day. Unfortunately, this time around, it wasn’t even worth the truancy. After playing Black Ops 2 until about 4:00 am, only one thought crossed my mind: This is the exact same game that I’ve been playing for years....

Literally speaking, game file sizes have become one of the biggest problems for gamers these days, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has proven to be one of the worst offenders.

The Call of Duty games aren’t just known by hardcore gamers anymore; they’ve entered the public consciousness and are known, by name, by people who have never even picked up a game.
