The Gamerzitch Weekly Wrap-Up for 5/13/2011

Bit of a slow week until just a few moments ago (as I type this up), but the biggest news definitely had to be something that we all saw coming after many, many info leaks and the fact that it's such a big franchise; Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has officially been announced! Now, Black Ops, was okay, wasn't amazing, but Modern Warfare definitely tops all of the Call of Duty games in my opinion.

All in all, this was such a perfect way to end the week with a bang! To the weekly wrap-up! Onward!

• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has officially been announced
• Alan Wake 2 on the way? Sources said it was a rumor, but now, it's official. It's neither a sequel or DLC though

Only COD game I fully enjoyed was WaW, everything else was repetitive crap, and I'm personally not buying any more Call of Duty Games.
