Given the number games in the series and how they involve mangling the bodies of our fellow human beings, it is unsurprising that CoD gets another entry in the series.

This time it’s the Death Machine itself, a massive gatling minigun thing that, for some reason, is being kept in a Soviet prison and which forms the objective of a host of escaping prisoners (including you).

Plenty of games have sported a minigun-like weapon, ever since Predator told us how cool they were. But none have employed one to give the player such a blood-pumping rush as Black Ops. The prison level is utterly grim and relentless, with waves of prisoners mown down by machine guns and guards being butchered in retaliation.

Only an immense eruption of savage exhilaration can top such a brutal journey through the meat grinder of the Soviet Union’s gulag system, and mowing down dozens of fleeing guards with the death machine gives it to us.
