If there was any one scene to show off the true HD resolution of the next generation of games consoles, this is it. The lighting in this scene, as the sun reflects off the space station and your colleague’s helmet, is quite distractingly beautiful.

It’s fast-paced action-packed blockbuster entertainment at its best. Call of Duty is the James Bond of video games.
