Video game retailers prepare for huge launch in November

Gamers will be preparing for the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 which is due for release on 13 November 2012. The new Call of Duty (or COD) will include a real time strategy mode. The release will coincide with that of Halo 4 and gamers must decide whether to risk ordering the product online or whether to queue all night outside the store. COD and Halo are the most popular first person shooter games and their popularity rivals that of top game World of Warcraft (WOW). 

The video games industry has been hugely successful in the UK with the number of gaming and software developers growing significantly over the past 4 years. George Osborne recently announced tax breaks for the UK video games industry in his 2012 budget in order to retain the UK’s competitiveness in this industry. 

There has also been a growth in the number of IT consultants in the UK who require the services of specialist accountants for small businesses companies such as Belsize Accountancy Limited.
