New setting, same result: to the surprise of exactly no one here at GameSpy HQ, Infinity Ward's latest shooter is another amazing blockbuster, beating out some pretty stiff competition to take our honors as the best PC game of 2007.
As the name implies, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare leaves the familiar locale of WWII behind in favor of a more recent setting. Beginning in a fictional Middle East, where a Russian ultranationalist is set on kicking off WW3 and remaking the world, a gruesome assassination triggers a series of missions that ping-pong between an American Marine and a British SAS solider. The story is a step above most videogame fare, not afraid to make risky narrative choices without ever getting preachy on the state of modern affairs.
