GameSpot has fired-up a hands-on preview taking a look at Digital Extremes' upcoming Action title, Pariah. Here's a nugget on the weapons and their upgrades:

The weapons in Pariah are a very interesting mix of the familiar and the new. You can call up a circular weapons menu that lets you quickly switch between the game's many arms. This also lets you play around with the weapon upgrade system, which begins when you start collecting energy cores. Basically, each weapon has the ability to be upgraded three times, provided you have enough energy cores. The first upgrade costs one core, the second upgrade costs two cores, and the third upgrade costs, well, three cores. So to fully upgrade a weapon from scratch, you'll need a total of six cores. Of course, the challenge will be to figure out which weapons you want to upgrade, because, naturally, you only have a limited number of cores.
