QTE Tweets Of The Week

This top 10 shows the most clicked tweets from my News in brief Twitter stream. It was a big mix of news this week. Its not surprising that news from the VGA's didn't make much of an impression as its a slow news week and every site was reporting it and showing the videos. The 3DS news was by far the most clicked story perhaps showing interest is growing in it as we're getting closer to more reveals.

What Have You Played This Week?

It was another week where I didn't get much gaming in. my main focus was getting the platinum in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 so I didn't play much else.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 – PS3 – i'm 1 trophy away from getting the Platinum now. My main task is getting all the ninja cards in the game, which are basically an in-game achievement system. I'm about half way playing through all the characters 30 times in multiplayer and that's all I have left to do in the game.

“Project Ishmael” - ? - Beta – I was surprised when I got into the Beta as I hadn't heard much about the game up till now. I've played alittle of the game but as I can't comment on it anyway i'm not going say anything else about it, sorry.

Pinball Fantasies – Minis – PS3 – I reviewed this game ages ago and I hadn't played it much since then. I was just looking for something to pass 10 minutes and it worked. Its still fine but has me longing for a modern pinball game. I'll look into the modern pinball games from Zen Studio on both the PS3 and 360.
