Caliente Contest
Every year brings another entry
in the "Call of Duty" franchise.
We reviewed the newest game,
"Call of Duty: World at War" in
this week's issue of Caliente.

The games, which are most often
set during World War II, let
players revisit history.

The newest installment focuses
on the final battles of World War
II in the Pacific and Eastern
Europe.

In addition to testing your own
skill, the "Call of Duty" games are
also social endeavors. Players
from around the world can come
together as teams to take on all
comers.

Even though the new "Call of
Duty" is a solid effort, it doesn't
live up to last year's edition,
which updated the setting. What
was the title of the 2007 "Call of
Duty" game?

Those who answer correctly will
have a chance to win a kids DVD.
Titles include "Avatar," "Ben 10,"
"Bratz" and "SpongeBob
Squarepants."

answer.
