Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Uprising DLC Review
There’s no denying that those extras for Call of Duty Black Ops 2 are a tad pricy. A season pass is going to cost you a pretty penny, so it better be worth it. Revolution was the first map pack released for the game, but it wasn’t exactly the best example of DLC, appealing to hardcore fans only in the long run.

Much like the movie Highlander, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 is the best thing ever, when it comes to video games.

Far Cry 3 isn’t afraid of Call of Duty
Love it or loathe it, no one can deny that Call of Duty games are essentially a license to print money when they come out every year. Usually, the week or two wherein a new version of the game is released, is devoid of any other new releases from a similar genre, as COD crushes the sales of any competitor within its launch window.
