It's the game that everyone's talking about - Modern Warfare 3. And this time, the talk on launch day isn't about shafted PC players, or scenes of unnecessary violence, or even Call of Duty's domination as the biggest entertainment launch ever. All of those things still happened, in their now usual way, but they just aren't the biggest issues any more.

Instead, the game itself is taking centre stage. Many critics are conceding that though Modern Warfare 3 does little different than its predecessors, it is still one of the best games of the year, and utterly deserving of the success it gets.
