Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Platforms: Xbox 360, Playstation 3
Release Date: November 10
Shifting well over ten million copies, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was a massive hit. Its sequel promises a longer campaign, an overhauled graphical engine, and a set of cooperative multiplayer missions.
Why It's Hot:
Do you really need to ask? With Modern Warfare's uniquely gripping and well-crafted single-player story -- not to mention online multiplayer good enough to make it still the third most-played game on Xbox Live -- just delivering more of the same will be enough to ensure many, many smiling faces this year.
Why It's Not:
Following up such a successful, well-loved game is never easy, and the pressure's on the team this year. Will they really be able to deliver as many memorable and original moments as the original?
Did You Know?
If you've got some extra bread, check out the "Prestige Edition" of Modern Warfare 2, one of the most expensive video game special editions ever made. It includes fully functioning night vision goggles and will retail for a hefty $150.
