Guerrilla Games has recently confirmed that you will be able to customize your own personal weapons in the upcoming Killzone: Shadow Fall.This will mark the reintroduction of weapon attachments to the Killzone series, and players will be able to add custom attachments to weapons like the Helghast StA-55 assault rifle and the StA-52 rifle.
Roy Postma, Killzone: Shadow Fall's art director has said a few things on the subject, and discussed the inclusion of an attachment system.
"It's still the same work horse of the Helghast, doing the same thing: a high fire rate with a big magazine in a nice, compact package. It's the perfect all-round weapon if you don't require high accuracy. So there are no new surprises on the weapon in terms of functionality. The biggest functional change, and one that is not limited to the StA-55, is the reintroduction of attachments. We can switch out various sights and optics, secondary weapon attachments, grips, flashlights, silencers – you

Grand Theft Auto may be one of the most successful game series of all time, and it seems as each game releases, the games become more and more popular.
This is certainly the case with GTA V. It has now been delayed once, and a lot of gamers are impatiently waiting for release day this September.
In fact, so many people want to get a hold of GTA V that it's predicted to sell faster than games like Black Ops, a game that managed to hit a record by selling 1.4 million units on day one.
Grand Theft Auto V has easily double that score though with a predicted 3 million units sold on day one, completely smashing their previous record of what now seems like a measly 630,000 copies for Grand Theft Auto IV on day one.
Whilst Grand Theft Auto V will do extremely well, it isn't the fastest selling game - FIFA 13 managed to amass a huge 4.5 million sales on day one.
Are you looking forward to Grand Theft Auto V? With so many predicted sales, there's certainly a lot

So far, the Last of Us has looked like a promising game, a very promising game.
Over the past week or two we've had scores coming in from various professional sources, and so far reviews have been stellar.
EDGE Magazine has recently given their score as well, rating Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us a solid 10 out of 10, making it the 15th game to ever be scored a full 10 from EDGE.
OPM UK Magazine also gave Naughty Dog a 10/10 for The Last of Us, stating that the game is "A work of art in which amazing sights and sounds fuel an emotionally draining, constantly compelling end of days adventure. This is Naughty Dog pushing the PS3 to its limit. Over to your PS4."
With Tomb Raider, Bioshock: Infinite and now the Last of Us, it's certainly been a successful year from some of our favorite games and developers, and we can only hope the same will continue through the year till the release of GTA V, a game that is almost guaranteed to score highly in reviews.

Last week, the Xbox One was announced, and with it came a lot of boos from the gaming community. But why? Surely a brand new console is a good thing for us gamers?
The truth is that, despite the console having updated hardware to play bigger and better games, many Xbox fans have felt that the Microsoft games consoles they once knew just aren't the same anymore. Microsoft has now put even more emphasis into the idea that the Xbox isn't just about gaming but it's also about media content.
The 'all-in-one' machine as Microsoft have called it, is capable of being a games console, TV box, media player and many other pieces of hardware you may find in your living room. Whilst this is good for the family, gamers feel a little cheated.
Gamers are now going to be bombarded with more media content on their dashboard, and are going to be encouraged to integrate that into their Xbox usage, thanks to various contracts that Microsoft has signed with companies

A lot of PC MMO developers have considered moving their titles to next gen consoles. We already know the popular free FPS Blacklight: Retribution will make it to PS4, and rumors have been going around about Planetside 2 hitting console as well.
This early on in the next generation of console it's hard to tell what will actually hit the console and what won't so it's refreshing to see that War Thunder, a free arcade World War 2 flight MMO by Gaijin Entertainment, will make its debut to PlayStation 4 sometime in Holiday 2013.
The game will offer a free experience similar to the PC version, although the game will have 'more intuitive controls' thanks to Sony's Dual Shock 4 controller.
"We're convinced that our cooperation with Sony will not only make the War Thunder franchise better, but it will give our fans a new level of gaming experience that will figuratively blown their mind," Said Kirill Yudintse,

Take Two has become the publisher to be this year, with titles like Borderlands 2, XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Bioshock Infinite on their roster, and the much awaited Grand Theft Auto V later this year, there’s no questioning Take Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick when he stated that "Fiscal 2014 promises to be one of our best years ever."
The publisher/developer isn't going to stop here though, and Zelnick has said that a lot of great games are in the pipeline for next generation consoles, including brand new IP.
"We also have an extraordinary pipeline of titles in development for next-generation platforms, including groundbreaking new intellectual property and releases from our proven franchises," Zelnick stated.
Currently there's no real rumors about what games will hit and what games are currently ‘in the pipeline' but there's no doubt in saying that there'll be some good games coming soon. Perhaps we'll finally see Agent hit the PlayStation 4, a game that made a Sony E3 press

Naughty Dog like to leave little hints around in their world for gamers to speculate about, and the last time this happened, a date left in a bar in Uncharted 3 turned out to be the release date for the Last of Us.
Gamers have now found a calendar in the Last of Us with the date October 2013 written on it. Whilst this could have just been a randomly chosen date for art and immersion purposes, it could be possible that the date on the calendar is hinting towards an October 2013 release for Naughty Dog's next game, Uncharted 4.
Uncharted 4 would sit nicely on the PlayStation 4 right ahead of the release date of the console, and if the game is released in October, perhaps this could mean the PS4 could be released before or around the October 2013 date as well.
There is no way of really knowing what the meaning is behind the Calendar, but a lot of gamers are convinced that the October 2013 date in the Last of Us is more than just artwork. What are your opinions?
