Information Update - Nintendo 3DS


1.- The logo for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has apparently leaked onto the internet along with a date for the debut trailer. The image was discovered on the official Call of Duty site but has since been pulled. Activision has still yet to confirm Black Ops 2, but we all know it’s coming. Judging from the logo we should be seeing the debut trailer fairly soon.
