QTE Tweets Of The Week

One of the resons why i changed from TinyUrl to Ow.ly is so i could see in more detail the statistics of what i was tweeting. one of the results is this new feature.
Tweets Of The Week, is a section where i go through the top 10 tweets that people clicked the link in the Tweet.
This is by no means accurate to what everybody read and what were actually the most compelling Tweets, you could say it shows the tweets that readers wanted to read more into and therefore went to the site where the story came from.

92% of these clicks were from people in the United States of America.


What Have You Played This Week?

Football Manager 09PC – Still playing, still going. It is my vice and will be for many years to come.

Crackdown Xbox 360I played the demo when the game first came out and wasn't impressed. And still, I can understand why it had a bad first impression. I've nearly done the first island and feel mixed about the game. It has some good moments, but also some bad ones. I'll try to play further into it before making a final conclusion about the game. I do like the graphic style of the game, and whilst the camera has been a little of an issue, it doesn't detract from what is a good looking game, even now.

Killzone 2 – PS3 – got all the job badges now and was in top 10% for last week so another welcomed trophy.

Pokèmon Platinum – DS – done the final gym battle. Now getting my squad up to a decent level to take on the elite 4.
