New shooter

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

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

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Last of Us is getting a free multiplayer mode. Yes, that's right, a free multiplayer mode.

Who would have thought that a developer could make a great game and then keep developing free content for it afterwards? Once again we've seen that not only are Sony exclusives great games, but they are made by great developers who care about making great games more than they care about making great bank.

The new multiplayer mode is a 4 v 4 game named interrogation. In interrogation, players will team up to fight other players for five interrogations by taking it from the opposing team steathily or by brute force and will then open the other teams lockbox once all 5 interrogations are received.

Like previous multiplayer game modes in the Last of Us, it takes both skill and good teamwork to successfully beat the other team, and it's great that Naughty Dog have managed to develop game modes that offer compelling game play objectives.

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

If you haven't watched the GTA V Online trailer already, go watch it! If you have, then I expect you are just as excited as me!

First things first though- some have been a little confused at the whole GTA V Online thing. The trailer has made it to sound like some kind of standalone game, but Rockstar have cleared things up. GTA V Online will be accessible from any standard GTA V and won't require a code, a subscription or any kind of money to access.

However, the online multiplayer portion of GTA V won't be available until October 1^st. This means that if you get the game at launch or before October, you won't be able to play online with your buddies and will only be able to play single-player.

The reason for this is most likely that Rockstar wants to spend two more weeks truly polishing up the multiplayer experience so that it arrives in tip top condition for all of us to play how Rockstar wanted us to play it.

If you've watched both gameplay trailers,

A few new snippets of gameplay from Battlefield 4's multiplayer have been shared across Youtube, and they have shown a few things about the game that aren't present in Battlefield 3.

The first video I saw showed a player drive a tank- nothing we haven't come to expect from the Battlefield franchise- however, this time round the tank in BF4 had a custom camo applied to it.

The same camo was also applied to the gun the player was wielding after they got out of the tank, and at this point in the video we could also make out some attachments on the gun, including a red dot sight and a laser designator pointer.

This small clip showed off a couple of new things that will be present in Battlefield 4. Firstly, players will now be able to customize their weapons similarly to the customization found in Call of Duty Black Ops 2. This will mean players will be able to build upon a base weapon instead of having to unlock separate variants of each weapon build.

The first of the previously announced trilogy of downloadable content packages for Bioshock Infinite has been released, and it will be available for both PS3 and Xbox 360 as soon as both Microsoft and Sony make it so according to Irrational Games.

The first DLC pack has been named Clash of the Clouds and is a wave based arena game that will test players skills within the various fields of the combat system used within-game.

The Clash of the Clouds DLC will also include new voxophones written by creative director Ken Levine, as well as some new Kinectoscopes and other unlockables. The DLC package currently costs $5 on Steam so similar prices will probably be released to Microsoft and Sony.

Ken Levine has also revealed that the other two downloadable content packages will form a two-part story that puts both Booker and Elizabeth as a two team detective squad that the player will be able to play as in both stories.

The first part of the DLC, named Burial at Sea

We all know Grand Theft Auto is a series of games that is likely to prosper even after Grand Theft Auto V and beyond, but if Take Two is to go by, we may be seeing a lot of other Rockstar games being made into permanent franchises, along with some other games from other well known developers.

CEO of Take Two Studios, Strauss Zelnick has said at last week's Q1 FY14 earnings results last week that their unique goal in the industry is to try to "create permanent franchises."

"Outside of our business you can look at James Bond, for example. And it's been our goal not just to preserve and grow the Grand Theft Auto franchise, but also to build other franchises that we think can be permanent, whether that's the Red Dead franchise or the Borderlands franchise or the BioShock franchise or others, Civilization, for example."

"Our competitors do not see it that way. Our competitors' view is that our franchise will have a certain life, and at the end of that life, you move onto

It's been a while since EPIC Games has shown us something new, and seeing Unreal Tournament and Gears of War coming from them has really made me excited for what the future could hold for this development team.

Two new job openings on EPIC Game's website could be pointing at new IP the development team may be working on.

One job posting for a technical artist states "to work on multiple new and existing IP's across multiple platforms." The job would involve attacking the more complex issues that arise when we push the technology envelope, both in production on current hardware, and prototyping for next-generation hardware."

The second job posting gives away a little bit more information, and is for a systems designer position. The job posting is looking for those that can "work with the tools and technology that are shaping the next generation of games" on "an unannounced competitive online action game that includes player progression, heavy itemization, and a dynamic

Two years in a row now, Ubisoft has taken the stage to show off the wonders of Watch_Dogs. From what we've seen the game looks spectacular, and it's been shown off as a game that gives players an unprecedented amount of choice when it comes to playing through the game and making decisions that can affect gameplay.

The footage we've seen has been so impressive that a lot of gamers have been curious to know whether the game footage used was real gameplay or whether it was just scripted to give out a certain feel to the game.

It's been done in the past where a development team will show off a game at E3, and then a year or two later upon its release, the actual game looks and plays a whole lot different than the game we expected after seeing the E3 footage.

According to Ubisoft's Danny Belanger though, everything shown off at E3 is gameplay footage representative of the final game. Danny Belanger said that "There are many questions about the systemic or scripted nature
