A longer battery life of between 3.5 and 6.5 hours while playing 3DS games (compared to 3-5 hours for 3DS) and between 6 and 10 hours while playing DS games (compared to 5-8 hours for 3DS). Its battery will take 30 minuets to charge fully. And finally it will have a 4GB SD Card.  However it will have the same screen resolution as the original 3DS. Between £180 to £250, give or take a penny, but UK retailers can choose how much to sell it for!It will go on sale on July 28th (22 days earlier than in the US, woop). In red, blue and ( Europe only ) silver.

GAME NEWS - X-Box 720 Leak and More

Short Stories
Microsoft have announced they will not be attending Gamescon (the gaming convention in Europe) or TGS (the gaming convention in Japan).

Limbo Screenshot

A Screenshot of the Limbo follow up has been released

The Last of Us will not be released until 2013

Dead Space 3 has a co-op controversy with more of a focus on killing things all the time, this might be a bad thing for survival horror fans.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Declassified (the PS Vita COD) will be $50 in the USA and they have released a paragraph about the game. But I'm not going to waste my time looking for it because COD is terrible and the Vita is terrible.

The Amazing Spider-Man is coming out this week and it looks good.

Spec Ops: The Line is also coming out this week.

Rage DLC being made.

Ubisoft Movies
A movie is being made using the themes and possibly characters from Ubisoft's Splinter Cell and another possible movie could be on the themes from their new game Watch Dogs. Personally, I think these could work really well as films as long as they have good scripts.


X-Box 720
Over the weekend some documents were leaked from Microsoft about the next generation console. They call it the X-Box 720. I will be 6-8 times more powerful then the 360. It is likely to be an ATI card for graphics. It will be backwards compatible with 360 games. It has 4GB of memory. Full HD 1080p on most games at 60fps and in 3D. The Kenect 2 will be integrated into the X-Box. It is the same technology as the current kenect but all the cameras have been upgraded and it can now track 4 people. It will cost $299 in the US and probably a lot more here in the UK as stuff always costs more. It will release around the same time and the Playstation 4. In the article they talk about smart glass which wasn't announced until a couple of weeks ago and it was written in 2010 so this is probably legit.

GAME CHART - Weeks Ends 8 June

So I thought I would do 15 because 20 seemed to much and 10 too little so yer. Yes I Know this has ended but it is the latest chart and it wont have changed anyway.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

1. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
Looks good but its a shooter. I like the gadgets :D.

2. Max Payne 3
Excellent from a writers point of view and engaging gameplay. Very Cinematic and violent.


3. Fifa 12
This game takes the only point in football, keeping fit, out of football making this totally pointless and boring. And it has been here for 37 weeks, WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!


4. Battlefield 3
Probably the best shooter in my opinion because of the environment breaking when you blow it up. However lacks in the single player.


5. Sniper Elite V2
Well this look tedious and boring, but I like the kill cam x-ray thing.

6. Game Of Thrones
Textures and Animations looks nasty and horrible bugs but the story is okay.

7. Call Of Duty: Moden Warfare 3
Urg COD really, really just what do people see in this game.


8. Fifa Street
What is wrong with these charts its just more football, I don't get it.


9. Mario & Sonic London 2012 Olymic Games
Woop love it, I played the first one on DS and loved it!


10. Dirt Showdown
Good racer but get repetitive and is shallow.

Assassins Creed Revelations

11. Assassins Creed Revelations
Love this game, not as good as brotherhood and possibly a bit short but multilayer is much improved. 28 weeks in the charts!


12. Dragons Dogma
I'm sorry what's this?, que google ... oh looks ok, well boring story and qlitchy game play but good combat and a cool team mate choosing thing. Good sense of adventure.


13. Mass Effect 3
This is probably due to its famously terrible ending. But otherwise its a good franchise. Hopefully they are changing the ending, well extending.


14. Call Of Duty Black Ops
COD, Seriously 48 weeks in the charts, almost a year. Just Why?


15. Prototype 2
This looks good really unique good features and combat.

Do you think this chart is right? Post answers in the comments
