It’s another one-game week on the XBLA, but at least that game is a big one. Call of Duty Classic. This HD remake of the original Call of Duty is a great way to see where the franchise started.

If you have thumbs, eyes, and something to play video games on, chances are you already own a copy of Modern Warfare 2, but did you know Infinity Ward has been making CoD games since 2003? The original Call of Duty was a smash hit, and it revitalized the WWII FPS genre. Fans of the series and newcomers wanting a taste of the origins of the franchise alike will want to check this game out. It has all the campaign missions, and multiplayer goodness that made the original a hit, as well as the additional benefit of an HD face lift. The game looks pretty good, considering at it’s core it is six years old, and I seldom saw the frame rate drop below 60fps. With a decent single player campaign, and a rock solid multiplayer component, this trip down memory lane is well worth the 1200 Microsoft Points.
