Despite Rockstar pleading to the public to not leak their game, even they didn't doubt that the game would probably get leaked and torrented before release. And the result of leaked copies of the game selling before the release is filled with clips and footage of the game all over the internet on websites like Youtube, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram.

Rockstar are trying their hardest to remove the footage, but because there are so many different people uploading footage, it's going to be pretty difficult.

It's become a trend to see popular games leak before their release date. For example, people were playing Halo 4 on the Xbox 360 at least a week before it actually came out. Microsoft responded to this harshly by banning any accounts that showed online play history of the game before the release date.

Rockstar doesn't have the manpower or backing by either Microsoft or Sony to do this so it's likely leaks will lead up to the game's release. The cause of this is mainly

The possibility of a next gen release for Grand Theft Auto V has been on the minds of many, and as both the release for the next GTA and the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One draw closer, it's only natural to be curious about what may happen to the series upon hitting the next generation.

When Rockstar was asked whether Grand Theft Auto Five would make it to either the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 no definitive answer was given, except that Phil Hooker, Rockstar North's technical director, believes that Rockstar 'already feels next generation.'

In an interview with IGN Phil has said that "When we started we knew the scope of GTA 5 was huge and incredibly ambitious. Fortunately from completing GTA 4 we had a team that was already very familiar with the hardware."

"Every aspect of the game had to be better, richer in gameplay and more fluid and knowing we were launching on the same platforms meant we could focus on extracting the most out of those consoles and making the game as

Despite seeing in-game footage of Killzone Shadowfall's multiplayer last time, we only saw snippets, and because of that, we had no idea about what the game feels like when playing. Luckily though, Guerrilla Games, the developers behind the Killzone series have allowed players to play and record right off the floors of PAX Prime, and a video showing 8 full minutes of a multiplayer game have been put on Youtube.

The video is quite shaky and there is a lot of background noise so it isn't the best thing to watch, but it does give insight into what the Killzone multiplayer will feel and play like.

The first thing to note was that the graphics were extremely pretty, and with all the graphics, detailing and lighting effects, it was surprisingly a little overwhelming and proved hard to spot enemies at a distance.

Hopefully you'll be able to get used to the screen glares and other effects, because the multiplayer does look to be quite enjoyable.

I wouldn't say the multiplayer

This week, an announcement was made to reveal the upcoming games for September's Games with Gold campaign, a new scheme that gives two free games to Gold members each and every month.

Like previously, the first half of the month will open a window to download the first game, and starting from the 16^th September to the end of September, the first game window will close and the second one will open up, allowing Gold members to download the second game.

This month, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas and Magic 2013 will be available for free. Whilst Rainbow Six Vegas is a very old game and was released back in 2006, Magic 2013 is a pretty new game, so if you're into the gameplay that the Magic series offers, this month's offering of free games in the Xbox LIVE Games with Gold campaign is pretty decent.

Magic 2013 can usually be bought online brand new for $9.99 and includes a previously unseen multiplayer version. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six can be bought for $19.99

If it matters to you, you'll be happy to hear that Microsoft has changed their Xbox Marketplace to something that sounds a little more playful. Starting from today the Xbox Marketplace will now be called the Xbox Games Store.

This follows on from a few changes that are happening to the digital Xbox Games store to make it ready for the introduction of the Xbox One. This includes a transition from Microsoft Points to real life currencies which has happened recently.

The changes won't really make much of a difference on a visual side, however Microsoft are still striding to make as many changes to the user interface on the Xbox 360 to make it feel more modernized and minimalistic with its square Windows 8 tile design.

When the Xbox One hits, the transition from the Xbox 360 will probably be very easy because the evolved design of the user interface on the Xbox 360 will end up very similar to the interface that will be found on the

Despite there only being the PlayStation 4 on it's own available for pre-order at the moment, after a leak from a French retailer Sony has confirmed that there will be various bundles available on shelves on launch day.

This information was given to Videogamer at Gamescom by Sony Computer Entertainment UK chief Fergal Gara. Fergal Gara said to Videogamer that, "We're tremendously happy with our overall value proposition, whether that be the entry price point of the machine or the detailed bundles and combinations that we will put on shelf at retail which we haven't fleshed out in detail as yet."

The leaked bundle on the French website included A PlayStation 4 console, a copy of Killzone Shadowfall, two DualShock PS4 controllers, and the PlayStation camera for EUR 499.99 which translates to around $650 US dollars.

Strangely though, Killzone Shadowfall was confirmed

Lords of the Fallen is an RPG that first made it's voice heard at E3. There wasn't really much to look at apart from a teaser trailer, but that then followed with another trailer at Gamescom and it started to look very impressive.

Once again, Lords of the Fallen has managed to impress visitors of PAX with gameplay demos, and I must admit I am definitely looking forward to this game.

The cinematic trailer we've seen shows a character wearing heavy armor as he fights his way to what looks like a very powerful hammer. Later on in the trailer we find out that this very powerful hammer is indeed a very, very powerful hammer. What follows is a very intense battle against what looks like some kind of oversized balrog in a snowy arctic desert.

The game looks to be a very promising RPG title that most likely will take inspiration from games such as the Darksiders series.

The developers have said that they want each fight to feel like a Tekken or Street Fighter battle

Last week a new gameplay video of Killzone Shadowfall's multiplayer was shown off and it looked spectacular. Besides the amazing graphics, the gameplay looked enjoyable and fast-paced and it was clear the developers of Shadowfall have taken inspiration from many different games to create what looks like a smooth and exciting experience.

The only problem that did seem to come to our minds was that the user interface and game information shown on screen may end up being too much for split-screen players or those playing on a small screen.

However, it has been revealed this week that Killzone Shadowfall will not even have any split-screen options. This is understandable as it looks as if the user interface just won't support smaller screens. At the same time though, it is a little disappointing because the PlayStation 4 clearly should have enough power to have a split screen mode working on a launch window game, and if it doesn't, it's unlikely we'll see much

Despite being a game that we've had our eyes on for a while now, InFamous Second Son has only just scored a release date within the PS4 launch window.

The PlayStation 4 exclusive title will be available to purchase in February 2014, much sooner than it's GameStop April 1^st placeholder date.

Previously the game was said to release within the PS4 launch window, and it has only just fit into this category. While a February 2014 release date seems quite far away, it means Suckerpunch, the developers behind the game, will be able to work on and improve any issues the game may have. Hopefully the game will release and be as enjoyable as previous media has made it out to be.

Second Son is a series of open world third person shooter/action games and InFamous follows in the series as a sequel to Infamous 2, with story events happening 7 years after the events placed within the second game.

Thanks to the PlayStation 4, InFamous: Second Son

World of Tanks is at the forefront for PC free to play ports on console, and we're now seeing more developers consider the move to both next and current gen.

CEO of Wargaming, the developers behind World of Tanks, has stated that "I see no reason why we won't eventually do next gen." And that it's "Just a matter of letting the new console grow it's user base."

If you're enjoying World of Tanks on the Xbox 360 this may mean you'll also be able to enjoy the game on the Xbox One some time in the future, so don't fret if you're scared to leave your 360 behind in the dust.

The CEO of Wargaming, Victor Kislyi stressed that it was important to let the Xbox One user base grow before they could move it to the next gen Microsoft console. "In free-to-play, you have to have millions and millions of players. On the PC, we have 77 million registered users worldwide. More than 75 percent of our players never pay us anything. We monetize only a small percentage who deliberately, from
