The folks over at Guinness World Records have named Call of Duty - of which the latest iteration, Advanced Warfare, was made available at the start of the month - as the Best Ever Gaming Series. The announcement was made on the Guinness World Records 2015 Gamers' Edition's website, where Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief, Craig Glenday, said: "More than 5,000 fans of the book from 140 countries across the world took to an online poll to vote for their favourite games, and the top 50 record-breaking games were featured in the book".

We have to say we're kind of surprised at the outcome. Then again a survey of 5,000 isn't exactly the final word on what's what, is it? We're also not sure that a survey should serve as material for any kind of Guinness World Record. Especially not an online poll.
