Ubisoft have been pretty open about the kind of game Assassins' Creed IV: Black Flag is shaping up to be, and this week they have released a trailer which reveals the infamous pirates you will meet in the game.
Matt Ryan, the voice actor for Edward Kenway narrates the trailer and talks about the various different important pirate characters in the game.
Matt Ryan first begins with Edward Kenway, and talks about how he is still quite a young person within, and describes his rowdiness and love for alcohol.
The trailer then goes on to feature Captain Blackbeard- the character that mentors and teaches Edward Kenway. Matt also discusses many other pirates such as Captain Hornigold, a character who has his own unbreakable honor code. For example, he will not destroy British ships.
The story in Assassins Creed IV is certainly shaping up to be something worth playing, and tells the story of a young man who grows up and learns from the best of the best Assassins, pirates

If you've already pre-ordered Destiny, congratulations, you may be rewarded with a small gift that wasn't mentioned on the pre-order page.
The open world co-op RPG shooter Destiny has been confirmed to be releasing sometime in the second half of 2014, but if you want to be able to play it earlier than that, you may actually have the chance to if you pre-ordered it.
Thanks to the power of Reddit, a line of text was found on the Destiny website stating "Pre-order Destiny at select retailers and receive admission to the Destiny Beta. Play it first. Become Legend."
After it was exposed, Bungie strangely removed it from their website, and neither Bungie or Activision have said anything about it since the exposure. To put that text on the website makes us think that Bungie and Activision do have a Beta planned for the game, and it looks like pre-purchases of the title will warrant the access of the Beta.
The text was only shown on the UK and Canadian versions

Sony has shown off a few things at this year's Tokyo Game Show, but one of the more interesting things is the PlayStation 4 PlayRoom, a fun little gimmick that shows off the capabilities of motion capture, facial recognition and other technology related to the PlayStation Eye.
Simply put, the PlayStation 4's PlayRoom is a collection of features that showcase concepts and technologies of the PlayStation Eye, almost as if to say "We don't really have a use for it yet, but it's still a good piece of tech so come back when we have something really cool to show you."
To be honest though, the PlayRoom is pretty cool, even if it is just a toy or a gimmick.
Players will be able to interact with the PlayRoom by moving the controller, pressing buttons and moving themselves in front of the camera.
The PlayRoom will then show off all kinds of cool futuristic images and interactive scenarios on-screen.
You'll be able to

The release date for Call of Duty Ghosts isn't very far away at all now, but a lot of the game is still under wraps. We all know we're going to be getting a lot of what previous Call of Duty games were about, and we understand about the new inclusion of dogs within multiplayer and the campaign, but there are still many other details we're missing out on.
Achievements for the game have been leaked and it gives us an insight into what we may be doing on COD Ghosts when it finally comes out.
The achievements hint at a few interesting scenarios within the campaign story mode. It looks as if the game will include levels with hacking, stealth, underwater combat, destroying helicopters, destroying ships, commandeering space stations and shooting guys off the side of a train, among other things.
The achievement list is below-
- Ghost Stories (5) - Escape. (Complete "Ghost Stories" on any difficulty.)
- Spatial Awareness (10) - Kill your first enemy in the

Capcom has revealed this week that their next gen graphically impressive title, Deep Down will be available on the PlayStation 4 as a free to play game.
This information was revealed at this year's Tokyo Game Show and Shuhei Yoshida, Sony Worldwide Studios President, has announced on Twitter that an open beta for the game will be available close to the launch of the console in Japan, which is in February next year.
Yoshida didn't mention whether the beta would be exclusive to Japan, but it sounds as if it will be available worldwide. Deep Down is a next gen action game that produces randomly generated dungeons for players to fight through.
The game is based off of a medieval-like fantasy world where warriors called Ravens travel back to the dark days to fight their way to fortune.
Not much has been given about the game yet and Capcom have barely shown any gameplay content to the public as of this point so it's incredibly difficult to work out

Sony has pushed through with its Vita branding and it has managed to make success out of a seemingly dead market. To improve the Vita name even more, Sony has pushed once again, and this time they have come out with something called the VitaTV.
The VitaTV is a streaming box that will be able to be purchased for just $100. However unlike other streaming boxes, it will allow owners to connect it to their TV and play PS Vita games, PS One Classics and PSP games on the big TV with a standard Dualshock 3 controller.
Amazingly you'll also be able to stream content straight from the PlayStation 4 as well. This will open up new routes for the PlayStation 4. For example, you could play split screen games across the house on multiple displays but with just one PS4 console, or easily play your PS4 games in any room in the house without having to move the console.
We'll most likely hear more about the VitaTV at TGS, and hopefully hear about a release

Not sure whether to order yourself a copy of FIFA 14, Madden 25 or Battlefield 4 for the current generation consoles or next generation? Luckily there isn't going to be much of a difference between qualities of each version for all three of these games so you won't be missing out on anything if you do get it for current gen, but if you plan on buying it for next gen, you'll have to wait longer, and this is because the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 won't be available till after the release of FIFA 14, Madden 25 and Battlefield 4 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
You won't have to wait that long if you're wanting to play either of these games on the next generation though, and COO of EA, Peter Moore, has said in a blog post that FIFA 14, Madden 25 and Battlefield 4 will make it to both the Xbox One and PS4 before launch date.
That means you'll be able to bag yourself these three games within November, however the specific

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
