Modern Warfare 2 might be the biggest game of the year, certainly in terms of sales, but poor attendance in school might not be the only thing the game's release caused. A 48-year old district judge in the UK feigned an illness in order to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 the night of its release, thereby delaying a pending trial.
The judge, who admitted to having an all-night session with the game and being so tired the next day he called in sick, said he just couldn't wait to get his hands on the shooter.
