Leaks have already told us pretty much everything that we needed to know about the title, of course, but this is our first look at the release in action – and, to be honest, it's a teensy bit underwhelming. Don't get us wrong: there are guns, explosions, and...

Review Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Havoc (PlayStation 4)
Eating John Malkovich
If there's one thing that was missing from every previous Call of Duty DLC pack, it was the ability to play as that one guy from the first two seasons of The Walking Dead.
