Everyone still bloody loves The Last of Us

It’s The Last of Us atop the UK chart for a sixth week. Last week’s ‘big’ release, Dynasty Warriors 8 wasn’t desperately likely to depose it, but manages a very respectable #5. Nintendo will be hoping that Pikmin 3 does the deed next week. Back to this week though, Minecraft is up a few to …

The Last of Us is first to four

In a quiet week for the UK chart, The Last Of Us becomes the first game this year to take the top spot for four consecutive weeks. So well done to all involved. Minecraft holds steady at #2, then it’s FIFA 13 up a place at #3 and Animal Crossing: New Leaf down a place …

Minecraft blocked by The Last of Us

With a third week at the top of the UK chart, the public evidently loves The Last of Us as much as the critics. That means the Xbox 360 retail release of Minecraft misses out on the top spot, but #2 isn’t a bad start. Animal Crossing: New Leaf and FIFA 13 each drop a …

Remember Me – a new hope for fresh IP

Capcom’s futuristic third person adventure Remember Me has had a far better launch than EA’s new IP Fuse, entering the UK chart at #3. This sticks a firm two fingers up at the publishers who refuse to believe there’s a demand for titles with female protagonists. Incidentally, Fuse has now left the top 40 entirely …

Resident Evil: Revelations returns

Capcom have bagged their second #1 of 2013 – Resident Evil: Revelations. The first was the Devil May Cry reboot, back in January. Curiously though the HD conversion is classed as a re-entry in the UK top 40 due to sharing the name of the 3DS original. It also claims the top spot in the …

Zombies are afraid of the light

The reign of the undead is at an end. Dead Island Riptide drops to #2 in this week’s UK chart. Koch Media’s Deep Silver label keeps the chart sewn up though: it’s replaced at #1 by its rather better critically received stable-mate, Metro: Last Light. FIFA 13 has had a promotional boost up to #3, …

Zombie bad; zombie good

Zombie bad: Dead Island Riptide is the UK’s no. 1 for a third week running. That’s one week longer than its similarly sloppy predecessor managed. The only other game to manage three weeks in a row this year is Bioshock Infinite, which this week is at #6. Zombie good: Telltale’s The Walking Dead retail collection …

Give Riptide a wave – it’s the UK’s new number one

Sloppy sequel Dead Island Riptide has entered at the top of the UK chart, dethroning Injustice: Gods Among Us after just one week. Don’t go rolling your eyes just yet – Chart Track informs sales are less than half of the first Dead Island. Once bitten twice shy? Perhaps. The mediocre Star Trek at #4 …

Bioshock Infinite takes a punch from Injustice

We have to admit that we’re slightly surprised to learn Injustice: Gods Among Us has taken the top spot in the UK chart. It’s the first fighting game to enter at #1 since UFC Undisputed 3, in fact. Batman and co push Bioshock Infinite down to #2. At #3 it’s a new entry – Fire …

Booker DeWitt – still a hit

This week’s UK chart sees Bioshock Infinite claim the top spot for a third week running. With the price starting to fall towards that magical £24.99 mark, chances are it’ll be there next week too.
