QTE Tweets Of The Week

This is the top 9 most clicked news stories from the QTE Gamers Twitter Stream. The reason for the change to top 9 from top 10 is due to the Hootsuite software I use. Unfortunately there have been a raft of changes, and the reduction to top 9 was a result of that. Its a strange top 9 this week. The top story about the PS3 and Hacking is to be expected, and news on the iPad 2 and Wii 2 are also expected, but the rest of the news is a suprise. The number 2 story got there with help from @lead_wotawaster

What Have You Played This Week?

Yep another week of Darkstalkers, its beginning to look like i'll finish it before the end of next week! It was also another week of Pokèmon taking over my life so I didn't get much else in this week.

Football Manager 2010 – PC – Well I got Havant & Waterlooville promoted and i'm coming up to December in my second season. Its a bit tougher this season, not only is the competition tougher, but I also rebuilt most of my squad and backroom staff. So it was a slow start to the season i'm doing fairly well, in around the play-offs.

Pokèmon White – DS – Well i'm over 17 hours in and trying to win my 4th badge. I've changed my Pokèmon team around a bit over the week. This 4th gym battle is particularly annoying as it's able to destroy my team easily. But i'm training my team up and looking into other Pokèmon i've caught, seeing if they can help. For those interested, my current team is Blitzle, Boldore, Pansear, Dewott, Siglyph, and the 6th space i'm not too sure with at the moment with the gym battle.

Darkstalkers – PS3 – so i'm still playing through and still enjoying it. I still think the game is perhaps a tad too easy now i'm powered up, but that could also be to help show how limited and powerless you are at the start of the game. I've defeated the second and third bosses and i'm working my way to the 4th. I have an idea what the twist at the end of the game is going to be but i'm sure i'll find out when I get there.

Motorstorm Apocalypse – Demo – PS3 – I'm a big fan of Pacific Rift and i'm looking forward to this game, though I know i'm not getting it when it first comes out. The demo is a choice of 2 vehicles and 1 track. It may not sound like much, but Motorstorm is well known for having tracks with more than 1 way of getting round them. A new feature is a Split/Second style way of changing the track layout. So whilst it looks small, there is a far amount of depth to it. The demo looks great, controls well, and has a great sense of speed.

Explodemon! - Demo – PS3 – I'm intrigued with this game and I have been looking forward to a demo. I completed it and it is a good demo. It's a good length and it provides some back story and gives you a good idea of what the game is. I'll admit some things were not clear and whilst there is a tutorial system, its easy to miss one or two tips. The graphics look nice and the humour is great. Its not S'plosion man, it is it's own game.
