Call of Duty 2 (Xbox 360, 2006)

I vividly remember the first time I booted up Call of Duty 2 on my brand-new Xbox 360. The WW2 shooter looked incredible. It was like I was watching a WW2 documentary. I was so impressed that I lugged my new Xbox over to my grandfather’s house to hook it up to his massive HDTV to show him. (He was a big history buff.) I don’t know if he really enjoyed watching, but playing that gorgeous, crisp-looking (720p!) shooter on that TV was incredible and felt truly next-gen. — Zack Zwiezen
