Confession time: I never actually finished the original Subnautica. It’s not that I didn't love its clever mix of sandbox survival and structured narrative; it's just that I'm a massive wuss when it comes to the sea. Or what lies beneath, at least. Subnautica's sun-kissed Safe Shallows? Fine, lovely. Kelp Forest's increasing murk? Nerves starting to tingle. The yawning abyss of oceanic horrors pretty much everywhere else on the map?...

He simply wants to live comfortably, out of poverty.

We already know a few things about this year's Call of Duty game. Earlier this year, Activision confirmed that the game would skip PS4 and Xbox One (something that wasn't true for last year's Black Ops 7). There were also rumours that the game would return to the Modern Warfare series, though that was just a suggestion until last night. Now, as we approach the summer blow-out for all things...
