With, probably, the most highly anticipated shooter coming out just next week, it's a sure fire bet that gamers everywhere are smashing their piggy banks as we speak to spend their hard earned pennies on Call of Duty: Black Ops. I say "most highly anticipated" not just because a slew of gamers can't wait to get their hands on Black Ops but also because fellow game enthusiasts like myself want to see how Black Ops stands against the "big time" shooters which have already been released such as Medal of Honor and Halo Reach. We only have but a week to wait. Hit the jump to see the launch trailer.

It's no secret that gamers love zombies. Gamers and zombies go together like lamb and tuna fish! Following in the popularity of the zombie mode of Call of Duty: World at War, Activision and Treyarch have announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops will also feature zombies.

Here's what we know; the Black Ops zombie mode will have the ability to be played cooperatively by up to four players. Sound familiar? Getting either the Prestige or Hardened editions of Black Ops will also include an additional four co-op zombie maps which are updated maps from World at War. There will also be a new co-op mode in Black Ops called Combat Training. But who the heck wants to play that? We want zombies, dang it!

iPad and iPhone users will also be treated to more zombie content as Call of Duty: ZOMBIES will be receiving a new map called Der Riese (“Zombie Factory”) which is another updated map from World at War. This new map is available now at Apple's App Store at itunes.com/appstore.

Never has such a momentous story featuring zombies ever been told! Well... save for this one.
