11.10.09 MODERN WARFARE 2: BEST GAME EVER?

If you’re under the age of 40, you’ve probably already heard someone you know singing the praises of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2,” the action-shooter-sim where you run around and blow up stuff that looks incredibly lifelike.

“By all indicators, we anticipate Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be the biggest entertainment launch of all time. As of today, the number of pre-order reservations we’ve taken for the game is the highest for any title we’ve ever sold in our 6,200 store network,” said Tony Bartel, executive vice president, merchandising and marketing, GameStop Corp. –money.CNN.com

Ironic that MW2’s success comes on the heels of the shootings in Orlando and Fort Hood. In fact, “Fort Hood” and “Modern Warefare 2″ have busted out incredible search numbers in the last week. I can hear the angry mothers screaming already.
