Call of Duty : Black Ops 2 is set to be released on November 13th, 2012, it will be the sequel to the first Black Ops, which was released in 2010, and will be the ninth installment in the highly successful Call of Duty franchise.

Unlike the first Black Ops, the second game will feature something that none of the other Call of Duty games have done: Future Weaponry. Modern and advanced technology will now be part of the deciding factor in the warzone, with appearance by high tech robotics, unmanned vehicles and cyber warfare.

Black Ops 2 has already surpassed the pre-order numbers of the first game in the series, and looks like it has no means of slowing down. Gamers can't wait to get their hands on this and want to be sure they have it to play upon its release date.

Today we have something a bit different. The owner of Game Gavel and many other great sites, have been working on a deal for months, maybe even a year. I'm not exactly sure when Mike Kennedy from Game Gavel first announced it, but his new idea is going by the name of EK Gaming. The following is a press release, originally found on Gamasutra (but Mike has given me the OK to re-post it here.) EK Gaming will offer gamers a better way to buy, sell, and trade their used games, giving you more bang for your buck than the enemy currently does (aka GameStop)

It’s been almost a year since the Nintendo 3DS was first released and, with its price tag severely reduced from what most of us paid on launch day, now has never been a better time to revisit the prospect of purchasing one of your own. And for those of you that need a little extra push please enjoy my list of the top ten reasons to own a 3DS.

Today we have a blog post by David Wyatt, a guest contributor. His post is pretty lengthy and comes packed with many screenshots and some videos from the games he recommends. You can read more reviews by David by visiting his website (see link at the bottom of his post.) I'll let David's post do the talking, so check it out after the jump!

So why do you still have that same generic background set as your desktop wallpaper? I like to change mine up frequently, and what better to feature here on Old School Apps then some sweet gaming wallpapers! This will be part 1 of an ongoing group of posts I'll do, as I gather more backgrounds for new games. What are you waiting for, check them out!
