UK Charts

It’s yet another #1 for EA – Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has gone straight to the top of the chart. The Xbox 360 version has sold the most amount of copies (53%), followed by PlayStation 3 (31%) and PC (16%). Shortages of Heavy Rain have seen it fall from #1 to #4. Sonic & All Stars Racing drops to #5. This wouldn’t have happened if they had called it Alex Kidd & All Stars Racing.

Another PC game in the charts this week is Supreme Commander 2 at #23, while the PC version of Assassin’s Creed II has helped Ubisoft’s white-clad assassin go back up to #14.

I was expecting to see Brain Training and 42-All Time Classics to make re-appearances, given that the DSi XL – released last week – is aimed at “senior gamers”. Neither game though has re-appeared but Mario Kart DS is back at #31 while the charming Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box has returned at #37.

UK Charts

Lily Allen’s The Fear is #1 in the music single chart; F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin is #1 in both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 charts. Conspiracy? I think so.

It can’t knock Wii Fit off the top of the Top 40 UK chart though, having to make do with #2. There are also plenty of other new entries to dazzle your eyes – Ben 10: Alien Force at #13, The House of the Dead: Overkill at #15, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box at #36 and Disney’s Bolt at #40.

Skate 2 has dropped from #8 to #21 while The Lord of the Rings: Crapquest is on the way out too going from #14 to #27.

The apparently rubbish Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furon and Shellshock 2: Blood Trails fail to enter the top 40 but go in at #12 and #17 in the Xbox 360 chart and #19 and #23 in the PlayStation 3 chart. Deadly Creatures crawls into #31 in the Wii chart. I’m betting it’ll be a slow seller but steady seller, much like THQ’s own De Blob was.
