As one of the most popular first-person shooter games to make a mark in its niche market, Call of Duty has come a pretty long way. Originally available as a PC game on Microsoft Windows, it was made available for handheld gaming stations and consoles with Call of Duty: Finest Hour as its first console title released back in 2004.
