Call of Duty: Black Ops Classics (Xbox 360)

Call of Duty tackles a whole new era as Black Ops plunges you into the murky height of the Cold War and history’s most secretive battles. The world’s most popular first person shooter places you in the most dangerous conflict zones of the late ’60s.

From the jungles of Vietnam to the snowy wastes of the Ural mountains, you and your team must operate behind enemy lines and using only the limited technology of the time. Luckily this includes air support such as the SR-71 Blackbird stealth plane, as well as deadly attack helicopters and armoured personnel carriers.

Like any Call of Duty game the multiplayer will set the standard for all other console games, with enhanced customisation tools, playable vehicles and a revamped scoring system.
