Top Tweets: Sony dominates E3 with the PSPgo and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker...
|
iPhone + Android + DS ...

The week in tweets started and finished with E3 last week, with our intrepid field correspondents, Jon Jordan and Tracy Erickson, tweeting their every move from the frontline. By frontline, of course, we mean sunny LA. *grumbles*

Meanwhile, the rest of the PG team have been sat behind their desks, tweeting everything else that’s been going on, making for a bit of a bumper week.

Remember, we're still looking for our 1000th follower, and whoever claims that spot will snag with it a £20 Amazon gift voucher. The count is currently at around the 750 mark, so everyone’s in with a chance.

And so, on with our weekly micro-blogging retrospective...
