Whether you're a Call of Duty fan or not, it is impossible to deny that each new entry in the franchise carries with it an insurmountable level of buzz, chaos, and retail insanity. The latest in the series, Black Ops II, is the most pre-ordered video game ever and will likely bring with its launch some of the biggest first-week sales numbers in the history of gaming on November 13th.

It makes sense that anybody else with the unmitigated gall to release a video game in the same window would wise up, take a step back, and avoid putting their game out against the gaming event of the year, right? Well, not exactly. Here are seven titles just crazy enough to go head-to-head with Call of Duty on its launch day next month.

Wonderbook: Book of Spells

Otherwise known as Video Game Book: A Video Game for People Who Hate Reading Books but Might Read A Book If It's Shaped Like a Video Game VS.. Let the battle begin!

6

Ben 10: Omniverse

Ben 10: Omniverse has robots, maybe, so if Call of Duty is sold out and you miss the chance to take down futuristic enemy drones in a gritty and realistic war-torn future dystopia, there's always this kid and his cool watch!

5

F1 Race Stars

Although they are in uniforms, you can't shoot these guys, kill their dogs or blow up their cars, so this game doesn't stand a chance on Duty Day.

4

The Hip Hop Dance Experience

Drop it like it's "hot" to "da streetz" in this "next level" dancing game that has "playas" tear down "da club" and "serve up" the "illest" and "flyest" new oh my god I can't keep doing this anymore.

3

Kickbeat

Oh, and this is a Vita game.

2

Rabbids Rumble

Not only is Ubisoft sending this Pokemon clone off to die against Call of Duty, it is sending it off to die against Nintendo's own Pokemon which just launched as well. Let's get ready to rumble!

Monster High Skultimate Roller Maze

Well to be fair, a game with this title didn't have a shot in hell any day of the year. Happy November 13th, everyone!
