Call of Duty: Black Ops nabs a Guinness World Record

Guinness World Records has polled over 13,000 fans asking them what their favourite game endings of all time are, and Activision’s 2010 CoD release took top honours.

Halo: Reach, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Cod Modern Warfare 2 and God of War also came in high.

Gaz Deaves, editor of the Gamer’s Edition, said: “Everyone has an opinion on how to end a game whether it’s an epic boss fight, a clever plot twist or a 90-minute movie.

“This list recognises some of the greatest endings and hopefully will get gamers talking about what are their favourites and why.”
