Turn your Xbox 360 on. Resist the temptation to play Sonic and go into the Marketplace section. Download the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare trailer - it's mindblowing.

No longer do you have to struggle with rubbish old WWII weapons - this year's Call of Duty has been brought right up to date. The helicopter has been invented. The laser sight has been invented.


There are even women fighting out there! The game looks phenomenally hot, with many impartial observers picking CoD4 out as the best-looking game shown at E3. Yes, even better than Gears of War clone Killzone

Better still, publisher Activision has just announced that an online beta test of CoD4 will start soon - and that'll be exclusive to Xbox 360. Which nicely justifies that Xbox Live Gold fiver a month.
