Call of Duty 3

Since we skipped seventh period history on a daily basis, we have absolutely no idea what the hell the "Normandy Breakout" is. But once you start popping caps into the bad guys and driving old, creaking tanks, you won't give a Nazi fart about Call of Duty 3's factual background. The game features 14 single-player missions, and each one is more shell-shocking than the last. And, hallelujah, this time you get to be Polish—no kidding! You get to drive Polish tanks! (Pollack jokes not included.) The stellar COD gameplay gets some minor tweaks this time around. Example: Enemy just toss a grenade at you? Play "Hot Potato" and toss it right back. Ker-fucking-boom! Sure, these COD games are starting to smell a bit like grandpa after he hasn't bathed in a week, but this is still our preferred way to learn about WWII.
