Call of Duty is one of those games that really doesn't need much of an introduction. For over a decade, the Call of Duty franchise has been a literal household name. It's easy to forget, in this modern Fortnite-ruled world, that Activision's annual military shooter is regularly a top selling title each year. Is it even possible to recreate a game that had the streets talking like Black Ops 2 did back in 2012? Infinity Ward is going to try with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
With every other game seemingly set in New York City, Los Angeles, or one of the five other cities that exist on Earth, games that don’t opt for the default locations are precious gems. Dusk Diver is one of those, placing you on the streets of modern day Taipei in Taiwan, ready to take on the world in the boots of a most appropriate warrior: A high school student by the name of Yang Yumo.

With that said, we invite you to take a look at three games that may scratch that itch for you in this week's official Wiki roundup!
When it comes to survival games, most of them require you to make a sizable investment of time and effort into mastering their mechanics and staying alive. They will also feature a dark, gritty art style and more often than not keep you in first person, experiencing the horrors they visit upon you first hand. Stranded Sails is the opposite: A game with a relaxed, casual survival gameplay, married to a colorful art style, and an actual endgame.

PC RPGs have lived in a space that have allow them to grow in a wide range of nuanced and variant direction since the old Ultima days. There's a CRPG for just about everyone out there, if you're willing to look. It's hard to make one in 2019 that looks and feels so wholly original that it can't be considered am "[insert old video game here]-like", but it seems ZA/UM has both stepped up to that challenge, and has possibly knocked it out of the park with Disco Elysium.

But how did the revival of this classic strategy title come to be? We recently chatted with Jan Wagner, managing director of Owned by Gravity, to learn more.
The only extraterrestrial body visited by humans personally continues to excite the imagination and for good reason: Not only is it the closest celestial body to our home, it also promises to be a rich source of Helium-3, a potential fuel for nuclear fusion reactors.
