Review: Call of Duty Black Ops – First Strike (thisisxbox.com)

Thisisxbox writes: Call of Duty is one of the biggest franchises of all time, and one of the most played games on Xbox LIVE – even if you do not even own the game, it’s likely that you will know someone who does. The latest title in the series, Call of Duty: Black Ops received its first piece of downloadable content on February 1st, 2011 for 1200 MS Points on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

Is it worth bothering with? Is it overpriced? How does it play? – Well, whilst one man’s meat is another man’s poison, the arrival of new maps on the Marketplace for hardcore fans, the price of DLC can be irrelevant because enjoyment is almost a certainty with the arrival of new locations. It’s a case of “how can you NOT buy it…” Although, with many gamers likely to be sitting on the fence, or waiting it out a few months for a price drop – having played all the new maps, why bother missing out on all the action for a few quid when you could be having a great time today… get downloading?"
