While details are still scant, Call of Duty: Black Ops will take players behind enemy lines in an entirely new chapter in the first-person action series of all-time. While the previous Modern Warfare 2 installment did not have a Wii version, it seems
Black Ops will change that, while USA Today reveals that the game is set during the Cold War era with at least two main characters. Multiplayer being a big part of the franchise, Treyarch is said to be going "beyond the single-player story," with a two- to four-player co-op mode outside of the realm of the regular campaign, much like Modern Warfare's Spec Ops mode.

Believe it or not, my most esteemed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit calendar in my office has a day missing this month. May 8th, which was supposed to be last Saturday, was placed on Sunday, with Saturday being a big, blank box. Why is that important? I use it as a visual aid for daily appointments — no, really I do — and now, I had to ruin the curvaceous swimsuit model in the background with a big black marker to adjust all the dates and appointments. Outrageous!
