Blimey! If you thought last week was a busy one, then this week has been absolutely mad. As the Playstation Network slowly returns to normality, DiRT 3 will be about to hit our lives for Xbox 360 and PS3 as well as inFamous 2 coming out for PS3. But most of our attentions this week have been turned to the future and as always XG247 is at the heart of it! Prepare your crystal ball to look into the future of your gaming lives as we look into this past week to show you what's there!

P.S. Don't worry if you don't actually have a crystal ball. There's probably an app for that...

So This week:

Dragon Age 3 was revealed to us as BioWare advertise for some creative sorts to help make it. Fancy it?

Not only did we see the introduction of the God Gun for our friend The Duke but the big news is...

DUKE NUKEM FOREVER WENT GOLD! It's. Finally. Complete!

We also got loads of scoop on Modern Warfare 3 as well. Do you want to see pictures of the official trailer? Well you can. Oh you want to SEE the trailer. Guess what YOU CAN! You can get the information on Pre-Ordering the game as well.

Rater sadly, Modern Warfare 3 as already attracted criticism from those powers that be, the MP's and the possible "distressing scenes". Sigh...

Interested in DiRT 3? Well you can check out our GameCentre with exclusive interviews and videos! We also got news of the DLC expected and where you can get it without paying a lot of money!

We had some news on the new Ghost Recon Online Game with the announcement and also a trailer. We also got some screenshots for you to check out too!

We also had some exclusive rumoured information on the new Ghost Recon game and that it may be Kinect compatible!

In the wake of L.A. Noire, Sean Cleaver & Alex Johnson took a look back at Rockstar Games back catalogue to choose their biggest hits like Grand Theft Auto and Manhunt.

There was some updates for new X-Men Destiny with a reveal of a new character, Grant Alexander!

We got some updates on the patches that came for Brink.

We also got news on the Mortal Kombat Online Pass being suspended due to the PSN outage.

There was some new information on Saints Row The Third for the PC and that it won't be a console port.

Warhammer fans got a look at the cover for the upcoming Space Marine game and also got a look at the collectors edition and pre-order bonuses too!

We got a release date and information on Frozen Synapse, and a link to our preview. Both of which are out now!

We also got some information on the single player and multiplayer modes for Red Faction: Armageddon and how long they'll last.

And we also got the new trailer for new game Shadows Of The Damned.

But finally we found out how much the PSN hack has cost Sony. Coupled with the terrible earthquake that hit the country, this isn't pocket money we're talking.

PHEW! Does anyone mind if I take a quick nap? Oh what do you mean there's new info coming on Assassin's Creed fourth instalment and all the news from E3? See you during the week folks!
