Modern Warfare 2
Getting deja vu? It’s understandable because Modern Warfare 2 officially launched for Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2009.
However, the game received a remake a la Final Fantasy 7, and Infinity Ward released the remastered version for the PS4 on March 30.
Xbox One players will get their chance to enjoy the revitalised campaign in less than a month on April 30.
Predator: Hunting Grounds
Hunting Grounds is a multiplayer shooter which sees you play as the Predator or pitted against him as a team of paramilitary officers.
Those playing as the legendary alien can pick from a wide array of deadly tech, while paramilitary members complete their objectives.
Predator: Hunting Grounds debuts on PS4 in two weeks on April 24.
