11. The New Call Of Duty
A series that always makes record-breaking levels of cash but never really seems to be universally accepted (well, not since Call Of Duty 4 anyway). Call of Duty: Ghosts in particular seems to have been a real stumbling block for the franchise, with reviewers and gamers criticizing almost every aspect of the game, including - somewhat unthinkably - the multiplayer. Still, the series maintains a huge fanbase and it's inevitable that people will flock to stores this November to grab the latest title. Call Of Duty 2014 should be a more interesting prospect as it'll be the first Call Of Duty developed solely by Sledgehammer Games who previously worked on Modern Warfare 3 with Infinity Ward but their project before that involved an action-adventure game based on the franchise. Could Sledgehammer have been given the green light to take Call Of Duty into a different genre entirely? It seems unlikely but with three studios now producing Call Of Duty games, Activision could take the risk. Given that Sledgehammer was formed by former members of Visceral Games (they made the first two Dead Space games) an action-adventure adaption would be in good hands but it remains to be seen whether Sledgehammer are the developers to restore Call Of Duty's reputation.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
