Call of Duty: World at War (aka CoD: WaW) is the follow up to the smash hit Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare developed by Infinity Ward. CoD: WaW is developed by Treyarch Studios who brought you such awful titles like Call of Duty 3. CoD3 was one of the first games I played on my Xbox 360 and, well, let’s just say I didn’t keep the game for very long.

However even as the Microsoft marketing and P.R. machines chew through your game shows, magazines, podcasts and blogs there is yet another more intimidating hurdle to clear.
