QTE Tweets Of The Week

This top 10 shows the most clicked tweets from my News in brief Twitter stream. Its great to see soo many posts from QTE Gamers make it into the top 10, but the top 3 tweets were by far the most clicked. There were only a couple of clicks between 1 and 2 and a small gap to 3. its not surprising to see Halo Reach and Pokèmon Black/White making the news, but with the dearth of big news from Tokyo Game Show, its not surprising that soo little from there made it into the top 10.

10 PS3: The Next Yakuza game has been revealed as "Ryu ga Gotoku Of the End". more expected at Tokyo Game Show http://ht.ly/2BVQL
