New Games: CALL OF DUTY INFINITE WARFARE, FOOTBALL MANAGER 2017, THE SIMS 4: CITY LIVING and More

new-games-call-of-duty-infinite-warfare-football-manager-2017-owlboy-the-sims-4-city-living-and-more

"Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare", the highly anticipated (and equally controversial among fans) first-person shooter, is out now in all its PC and console incarnations, along with the remastered version of "Modern Warfare", which is only available in the Legacy, Legacy Pro, and Digital Deluxe editions of "Infinite Warfare".

But it's not all about war this week. Soccer fans should check out "Football Manager 2017", a game that has stirred some controversy of its own by including BREXIT in the storyline. For those of you who enjoy platformers and arcade-style games, "Owlboy", "BlazBlue: Central Fiction", "Earth's Dawn" and "SteamWorld Collection" might be worth a look.

For "The Sims 4" fans, Electronic Arts has released a new expansion called "City Living". And finally, for puzzle fans we have "Tumblestone", a cute little game from The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild. Now that's a name for a video game company.

Find out more about all the new video game releases after the jump.
