This Week On The NewsWire – 3rd April 2011
This week in the news saw not quite the plethora of upcoming game content as last week but had plenty to satisfy your gaming thirst!
The past seven days have instead seen lots of rumours around the web of new console hardware in development by both Microsoft and Sony, with solid details not to be revealed for a long time just yet! We at XG247 instead try to keep our facts straight and our news current so here's our rundown of our biggest stories this week...
Valve gave us a humour-filled guide as to what to expect from the co-operative element of Portal 2
Tissues at the ready as our Top Ten Tuesday feature pulled at our virtual heartstrings with this week's version...the Top Ten Games To Make You Cry. Sob!
XG247 introduced a brand-new feature this week: the GameCentre! Each time a new game is coming out that we have lots of juicy info on, we will be very helpful little chaps and pop it all in one place for you to find! Convenient eh..? First up for the GameCentre treatment, wrestling title WWE: All Stars
Not only did Capcom announce upcoming title Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City will be on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, they have also revealed that they will be releasing 3D title Resident Evil: The Mercenaries with a playable demo of Resident Evil: Revelations!
