Historically November has been the month that publishers choose to unleash their big holiday titles, and while Halo 3 did ship a bit earlier than many had predicted that doesn't mean that there weren't plenty of stellar releases to give thanks for. The month began with a bang, the biggest bang of the 30-day spread in fact, with Call of Duty 4. Later came the fantastic follow up to BioWare's Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire, Mass Effect, an RPG unlike anything else that we've seen on Xbox 360. Then came Rock Band, a party game the likes of which console owners have never experienced, and Assassin's Creed a hot point of contention that some people are loving and others, well, not so much. It was a tough decision to be sure, but once the dust settled on the month of November it was clear that Call of Duty 4 will reside in more 360s in the coming months than the rest.
Why We Picked It:
There's one word that perfectly sums up the experience of playing through Infinity Ward's third (COD3 was actually made by Treyarch) installment in the Call of Duty franchise: intense. We've never been a part of a solo or multiplayer game that contained more moments of sheer adrenaline pumping action as what you can find in Call of Duty 4. You have no time to think, only to react to what the skilled AI is doing on the battlefield. For a real challenge -- and this is the only way that true gamers play -- ratchet it up to veteran difficulty, but only if you're prepared to spend the majority of your time on the ground, sans heartbeat. Though the single-player campaign is short, it's still an incredibly sweet eight hours that is supplemented wonderfully by a supremely crafted multiplayer offering that continues to expand as you play and excel in matches. For one of the best first-person shooter experiences on any console be sure to gobble up (Get it, because it's Thanksgiving? Duh!) a copy of Call of Duty 4.
