Call Of Duty - Black Ops 2 (PlayStation 3, DVD-ROM)

With the explosive success of Call of Duty spin-off Black Ops, Treyarch has undoubtedly made its own mark on the franchise. Now all eyes are on them to deliver again with Black Ops II which, curiously enough, takes things into the not-too-distant future.

A neo-Cold War erupts in the year 2025, when the US increased dependance on computer infrastructure is turned against it. It asks the question, how crippled could a country become if its military and security hinged on a systems network? .

You assume the role of a top-tier soldier in the middle of this global conflict. Along with the fast-paced action that you re used to from past titles in the Call of Duty series, Black Ops II spices up the proceedings somewhat with an enticing array of futuristic arsenal - rifles that can shoot through walls, flying drones that can cover corners, walking mechs... the works.

As well as improvements to multiplayer and Zombies mode, there's a new feature called Strike Force. These special stages occur throughout the course of the campaign, and are single-player sandbox objectives set in various countries around the world.
