The long wait is finally over. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is finally here. Modern Warfare 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Modern Warfare 2 picks up a few years after the first game. Like all veteran COD players know, you get to traverse various locales in the different mission settings. You will fight in Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Brazil and a bombed out Washington D.C. The single player is brief and intense.

After the single player campaign, grab a partner and jump into the Special Ops mode. It’s a cooperative mode that uses locales from the single player not related to that campaign. You can play Special Ops alone, but what fun is that? Coop is definitely the preferred way to play this mode.

It has been rumored for months now, but Apple Corps LTD., MTV and Harmonix finally announced the long awaited “The Beatles: Rock Band” game earlier today. This is the first time ever that Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison have given their blessings for a Beatles based videogame.
