For whatever reason, Amazon Australia has decided that games like Horizon: Zero Dawn and the latest Uncharted should be cheap. Like, under $25 cheap.

It's been rough journey through space for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. After a reveal trailer that became the most-disliked video in YouTube history, it started to seem like the shooter series' push into outer space was a push too far. Activision eventually called it "the wrong game at the wrong moment."

Gesture Warfare, the mode in which players kill each other with in-game gestures such as smushing players with their fingers or zapping them from a distance by throwing up a finger gun, is returning to Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare on October 12.

I was sceptical this past weekend when I saw "Gesture Warfare" listed in the featured playlist on Infinite Warfare. Killing players with the finger gun? A flick of the wrist?

The Beast From Beyond zombies map that closes out Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's run of map packs reintroduces players to the alien Cryptids from the Extinction mode in 2013's Call of Duty: Ghosts. That's cool, but it does so in a way that makes even the early rounds of the map hard to enjoy.

On Sunday night, Call of Duty commentator Jack Campbell announced his departure from the esports scene and his plan to deactivate his Twitter account. Campbell's love life has become a topic de rigeur for Call of Duty fans in the past month, in spite of Campbell's attempts to stave off fans' speculation. The situation came to a head this past weekend when a woman close to Campbell revealed screenshots of private conversations that implied the Call of Duty commentator has a foot fetish.

The fan-favourite Prop Hunt mode returned to Modern Warfare Remastered on June 30 as part of Call of Duty's "Days of Summer" event, which runs until August 1. In addition to disguising themselves as garbage or furniture on a map for a wacky game of hide and seek, players are being trolled by one map with outlandish seasonal props and RPGs.

A competitive Call of Duty team made history over the weekend by becoming the first European team to win a major tournament on US soil.

It's like the Call of Duty version of extreme couponing. Last weekend, Infinite Warfare's Double XP weekend allowed many players to stack up bonuses and challenges to snag over a million XP from just one multiplayer match. One enterprising streamer even racked up 2.5 million XP in a single game.

The $US49.99 ($67) season pass for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare gets you four map packs with four new multiplayer maps each. What it doesn't guarantee is that these new maps will actually come up in multiplayer matches online. In my experience so far, playing a DLC map is like finding a unicorn.

Imagine, for a moment, that Activision announced this year's Call of Duty last year, back when they were also announcing last year's, too. Madness, you might think, but is it any less mad than what actually happened?

Shaolin Shuffle, the latest map for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's Zombies mode, has players performing some rather un-Call of Duty-like tasks in order to access all of its secrets. Tasks like playing an ersatz version of Candy Crush. Or even mahjong.

This collection of artwork from Infinite Warfare by Aaron Beck -- mostly very cool robots and future space armour -- is just too good to let pass us by.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare didn't live up to Activision's expectations, the publisher said today, offering a surprisingly candid assessment of the most recent entry in their yearly shooter franchise.

The second instalment of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's Zombies mode arrived yesterday on PlayStation 4, trading the colourful '80s fun park of Zombies in Spaceland with the '90s vibe of Rave in the Redwoods. The Crystal Method makes some excellent undead-slaying music. I guess I didn't know.

I’ve already spoken a little of my love for this game’s art design, but today I’m going to showcase a much wider range of work from a team of artists who worked on Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

Looking at the most recent Japanese sales figures, you won't be surprised to see Pokemon Sun and Moon at the top. But you might be surprised to see Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare right up there.

There's been no shortage of quality first-person shooters in the last few months: Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2 and Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, to name three of the big ones. Honest Trailers has had to play a bit of catch-up, but it's now covered two out of three (though you might say two-and-a-half, since it did a video on the original Titanfall at the start of the month), with Infinite Warfare as the latest instalment.

The latest Call of Duty has some problems. That said, being a man so deeply invested in the most superficial aspects of video games, I'm also finding a lot to love.
