What could be this week’s UK number one? What could it possibly be? Oh, that’s right – Destiny. Bungie’s sci-fi shooter sits atop the chart for a second week. Well done Destiny. Only time – and more specifically FIFA 15 – will tell if Destiny retains the top spot next week. Three new titles entered …
Destiny has toppled previous record holder Watch_Dogs to become the UK’s most successful launch of a new IP. And quite obviously, it’s the UK’s new number one. Sales were spilt 50/50 against PlayStation and Xbox. The breakdown goes like this – 46 per cent on PS4, 4 per cent on PS3; 36 per cent on …
The UK chart has been pretty stagnant lately. Not this week however – there are three new entries, including a new number one, and the top ten has seen an unexpected shuffle. That new number one is The Sims 4, becoming EA’s fourth #1 of the year. It’s also the first PC game to take …
Never underestimate the popularity of gritty first-person shooters – Metro Redux is the UK’s new number one, dethroning Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition after just one week at the top spot. The two-strong shooter collection is Deep Silver’s first UK number one since Saints Row IV. It’s also #1 in the Xbox One chart and …
Back in July we were confident in saying that The Last of Us Remastered would hold onto the top spot of the UK chart until Destiny arrives. Turns out we underestimated Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition’s popularity somewhat. Blizzard’s loot laden quest set tills ringing last week, becoming the UK’s number one in the process. …
Considering Risen 2: Dark Waters entered at a respectable #14 back in 2012, it’s slightly surprising to find that Risen 3: Titan Lords has failed to make the UK top 40. Deep Silver’s RPG does however enter at #12 in both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 individual charts, suggesting it only narrowly missed out …
Down, forward, punch – Capcom’s Ultra Street Fighter IV is the only new arrival in this week’s UK chart, entering at #15. Considering the content it contains was available as DLC a couple of months ago, that’s not bad going at all. Even with sales down 55%, The Last of Us Remastered holds onto the …
Coming as a surprise to absolutely no one, The Last of Us Remastered has taken the UK chart’s top spot. It’s the 5th biggest release of the year, but only the 4th fastest selling PS4 release so far. With the kids off school, the rest of top ten has seen a boost. Sale figures are …
With the film now out to buy, The LEGO Movie Videogame has shot up from #12 to #5 in this week’s UK chart. It’s #1 in the Xbox 360 chart and makes a re-entry in both the Wii U and 3DS top tens. The movie’s release has seemingly helped to bolster sales of LEGO Marvel …
Last week really was a poor one for UK game sales. So poor, in fact, that this week’s UK top 40 sees 2011’s Pokemon White and Pokemon Black resurface at #21 and #22. What are they doing there? Why, they’re reduced to £7.99 at Argos currently. Even with limited stock available they’ve still managed to …
You know it’s a slow time of year for new releases when the only new arrival in the chart is a movie tie-in. That game? Little Orbits’ How to Train Your Dragon 2 at a lowly #34. It’s Watch_Dogs that’s the UK’s number one, knocking Sniper Elite 3 down to #2. This’ll be the 4th …
Last week was uneventful for new releases and as such this week’s UK chart is a dull one. Sniper Elite 3 is the UK’s number one for a second week running while Watch_Dogs remains at #2. FIFA 14 rises up from #6 to #3. Titanfall holds onto #4 and then at #5 it’s Wolfenstien: The …
Proving that shooters are still as popular as ever, 505 Games’ Sniper Elite 3 has taken the top spot of the UK chart. The fact that the last-gen versions are available for around £25 likely played a key part in helping it get there. Watch_Dogs remains at #2 while EA Sports UFC – last week’s …
Coming as a mild surprise following some lukewarm reviews, EA Sports UFC is the UK’s new number one. It’s EA’s third number one of the year, and also their first UFC title to take the top spot since acquiring the license from THQ. Watch_Dogs drops to #2, while presumably due to price-cuts Titanfall rises from …
Watch_Dogs is top dog for a third week running, keeping 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil at bay. With the World Cup now in full swing, EA’s soccer sim rises up from #6 to #2. A price cut could see it take the top spot next week, but we can’t see EA cutting it just yet. …
