The UK chart has finally woken from winter slumber – this week sees four new arrivals in the top ten alone. Battlefield: Hardline manage to prevail over Final Fantasy Type-0 HD in taking the top spot, becoming EA’s first number one of the year in the process. Incidentally, Battlefield 4 had to settle for #2 …
And so the gaming industry finds itself in another ‘catch 22’ situation. Announcements of upcoming remakes and remasters are often greeted by rolling eyes and deep sighs, but if these re-releases continue to sell as well as they do then publishers will carry on dusting off and sprucing up older titles. Case point – Capcom’s …
The UK’s top ten has had a shuffle this week with just two titles staying put – Dying Light at #1 and Minecraft: PlayStation Edition at #10. GTA V and FIFA 15 both move up three places to #2 and #3 respectively, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare drops from #2 to #4 and recent chart …
Prior to last Friday, the only way to purchase Dying Light was via the download services at a rather extortionate £54.99. Proving that gamers are willing to wait until something is sensibly priced, the belated retail release has shot straight to the top of the UK chart. It’s the third consecutive number one in three …
Despite a mixed reception, The Order: 1886 has become the latest UK chart topper, dethroning Evolve after just one week on top. Evolve now rests at #3 while Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare moves back up to #2. Far Cry 4 and GTA V finish off the top five at #4 and #5 respectively. How …
Last week’s trio of big name releases – Evolve, Zelda: Majora’s Mask and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate – are off to a monstrously good start. It’s 2K’s Evolve that takes the top spot in the UK all-formats top 40. Chart-Track reports that the Xbox One version shifted the most copies, albeit by fewer than 400 …
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare celebrates its 8th week at the top of the UK top 40 this week, putting it neck and neck with the amount of weeks FIFA 15 has spent on top. GTA V remains at #2 for a second week running while FIFA 15 holds fast at #3. Assassin’s Creed: Unity …
Due to a surge in sales – which could possibly be attributed to the arrival of Exo Zombies – Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has managed to dislodge GTA V from the top spot of the UK chart. Curiously, this puts the two titles neck and neck in regards to both consecutive (three) and non-consecutive …
It was always a given that Saints Row IV Re-Elected would enter the UK top ten. Deep Silver’s purple hued HD remaster is in at #4. We didn’t expect Rugby 15 to make a top ten appearance however. Not only because it has been available on the download services for quite a while now, but …
With no new entries and GTA V holding the top spot for a second week running, this week’s UK chart isn’t exactly a thrilling one. The fact that a handful of Nintendo titles have moved up the ranks hasn’t escaped us, however. We put this down to last week’s impressively strong Nintendo Direct. In the …
Despite being both the UK’s fastest selling and biggest selling game of all time, GTA V has only topped the UK chart five times. This week is one of those weeks. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare – last week’s no. 1 – falls to #2 while FIFA 15 and Far Cry 4 hold at #3 …
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker has become 2015’s first new arrival in the UK top 40, tunnelling in at #16. The official release date was last Friday but copies were available to purchase as early as before Christmas. It’s unclear if this has prevented the Wii U-exclusive from charter higher. Sales were down across the board …
It’s a little hard to muster up enthusiasm for the final chart of the year. There are no new arrivals and very few re-entries, plus the titles in the top ten are likely to remain there for weeks – if not months – to come. Every game in the top ten did however see a …
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has become the fifth game in the franchise to take the UK’s Christmas number one spot. Strong sales of the PS4 version – which reportedly received a spot of extra promotion last week – helped Activision’s exo-suited and booted shooter to dethrone FIFA 15. GTA V took #1 in the …
Car windscreens aren’t the only thing feeling the wrath of winter – the UK top five is frozen too. A tenuous link, we know. This means FIFA 15 is the UK’s number one yet again. Last week saw it take the top spot for the first time in six weeks. Just for those who missed …
