10 Video Games We Love BECAUSE They're Fun Trash
5. Call Of Duty (Series)
Unlike many a 9-year-old who are undoubtedly miles better than me (and have their fifteenth killstreak perk of the match)... don’t give me flak.
There’s no question that Call of Duty, as a series, has some exquisite talent behind it, and so to refer to it as “trash” is really quite a bit harsh. When I clump COD in with the rest from this list, I don’t mean that it’s poorly made, or you should enjoy it ironically, or anything - instead, think of Call of Duty as Bernard Matthews Turkey Dinosaurs - utterly delicious, but undeniably heavily processed and no longer anything like what it was originally supposed to be.
It’s junk food gaming at its finest. Whether you’re playing through one of the many story modes with its cringeworthy roger-roger-tango-down dialogue and patriotic men running away from exploding chinook helicopters (which would make even Michael Bay blush) or its hectic, tween-laden, nigh-on-incomprehensible multiplayer modes which, to the untrained eye, resemble candle wax being poured into an anthill, you can be assured you’re going to have a good time...
...but only so long as you check out your brain, first.
