Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s campaign is slick, morbid and a bit dull
Editor's note: Ahead of our full review next week after we've had time to get to grips with the game's online component, here are Edwin's impressions of the single-player campaign. Among the first things you do in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is walk through a memorial, running your eyes over marble slabs engraved with the names of the fallen.

After a couple of release-date postponements, Godzilla vs. Kong is almost upon us, with a US release in March, where it’ll land on cinema screens as well as streaming for HBO Max subscribers. For Wingard, this post-production phase hasn’t been too badly disrupted by the pandemic that’s obliterated cinema schedules. "We had our first test screening at the end … [Read more...] about Godzilla vs. Kong: The making of a monster hit
