While the Call of Duty games have always been solid, Modern Warfare took the series to all new levels of success. The single-player campaign is a thrilling affair that has you rescuing downed chopper pilots, gunning down enemies from the sky, and raiding a number of terrorist strongholds that will keep you enthralled the entire time. The multiplayer has up to 18 players waging war in a number of arenas. The unique twist of a leveling system allows you to earn new weapons and abilities as you play. As one of the most popular online games on both the PS3 and the 360, CoD4 is a no-brainer for all shooter fans.

The game is a truly massive action-RPG experience, and those looking to invest a lot of time into a meaty, rewarding adventure would be wise to pick this up.
