Predicting The Metacritic Scores For 2016's Biggest Video Games

The Call of Duty series is in something of a rut right now: no matter how many gimmicks it seems to hurl at players and critics, the reviews typically level out around the late 70s or early 80s. That's just the way it is these days.

Though Infinity Ward's last title, CoD: Ghosts, was one of the very worst core entries into the franchise, that might be all the more reason why their upcoming Infinite Warfare could blow the last few games out of the water and truly feel like a breath of fresh air.

The move into radical sci-fi space warfare has been controversial with fans, though critics are typically less finicky and more open-minded to change, so there's every possibility this huge reinvention will actually result in some of the series' strongest reviews of the last few years.

Not that it really matters, because the game's going to sell like hot cakes regardless.
