Again. Ask someone over the age of 40 and they will have no idea who or what CoD is. However if you ask a 90 year old man who Pac-Man or Super Mario is chances are he will know. Coca Cola is an icon. McDonald's is an icon.

Again these are fads. Not cultural icons.

WELL Imo its not quite COD anymore - Sledgehammer Games & Raven software are both working on the game. So it should be slightly better then the previous CoD:MW games by a small margin (depending how you look at it. I was quite a fan of the Soldier of fortune series though)

Since Infinity ward are having trouble hiring people to work on the game. in which case it makes it sound like Activision bought these 2 studios in at gun point and forced them to work on the game due to Infinitywards current status. but who knows anyway. Im partially looking forward to the game

You cheated.

Now, go ask the same question to a bunch of random people in the streets, and see how many know the answer, then see how many of those people know Mario and Pac Man.

Sure, there are some good games these days, but for the most part, the older games have better replay value.

Yes, they are.

Mario is iconic. Mario has been in countless games. there are iconic games that don't have a memorable character or one at all.

<random ramblings about how games were so much better back in the good old days>

Now, in all seriousness I don't think the CoD games are so bad really. What is bad is that there is to many of them. They should have stoped at #4 really.
