Call of Duty: Black Ops\u2019 is the biggest selling video game of all-time on Amazon.co.uk and it looks from these figures like \u2018Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3\u2019might well be challenging for that title come the end of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n Those figures look promising for a massive end of the year. However its simply staggering the percentage increase that Battlefield 3 has over Battlefield 2, could it over take Call of Duty as the most successful first person shooter series? All will be revealed later in the year, personally I cannot wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amazon the major\u00a0on-line\u00a0retailer has today announced that we as gamers are pre-ordering more than ever.
