Yes yes, it’s Christmas Eve, but there’s still a chart to briefly glance at. In fact, more than that, there’s the Christmas chart to briefly glance at. So let’s glance. Briefly. Not only is Call of Duty: Black Ops II the Christmas number one, but it’s also the first game this year to top the …
Call of Duty: Black Ops II is the UK’s #1 for a fifth week running, but what’s this at #2? It’s Hitman: Absolution all the way up from #6. This is likely to be because Agent 47’s latest is currently available for £19.99 at just about every UK retailer. Yes, even in GAME. FIFA 13, …
With hardly any new releases out last week, it’s no surprise that this week’s UK top 40 isn’t exactly brimming with activity. The top ten is almost unchanged – Call of Duty: Black Ops II on top, followed by Far Cry 3, FIFA 13, Just Dance 4 and Assassin’s Creed III. Then we have Hitman: …
Nintendo must be feel a little disappointed that there are no Wii U games in the UK top ten chart this week, especially after telling Eurogamer that they “definitely†expected there to be. They even hoped that there would be one or two in the top five. The three big name Wii U games aren’t …
When a game manages to stay #1 in the UK chart despite an 81 percent drop in sales, you know it’s sold a lot of copies. Call of Duty: Black Ops II has, emphatically, sold a lot of copies. Hitman Absolution fails to take the top spot then, but its #2 entry still stands as …
It feels absolutely pointless to report that Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is #1 in the UK chart this week, because of course it bloody is. Since last Tuesday it has become the biggest launch of 2012 and the fourth biggest of all time, with 60 percent of copies sold on Xbox 360 and …
Due to a certain game being released tomorrow, it’s looking like Halo 4 will only get one week at #1. That week is this week – Halo 4 sits on top of the UK chart, proudly selling more copies than Assassin’s Creed III managed at launch. However, it hasn’t sold as well as either Halo …
This week’s UK chart bears very good news for Ubisoft – Assassin’s Creed III has performed exceptionally well, arriving at #1. Not only has it sold more than double the number of copies that Assassin’s Creed II did at launch, but it has also beaten Assassin’s Creed: Revelations – the previous fastest selling game in …
A sea of 5/10 reviews, leading to a current Metacritic of 51%, hasn’t put gamers off purchasing Medal of Honor: Warfighter. It’s the UK’s new number one, knocking EA’s own FIFA 13 to #2. Forza Horzion makes a pitstop at #3. Then we’ve got Skylanders Giants, Dishonored and Just Dance 4 at #4, #5 and …
FIFA 13 sits on top of the UK chart for a fourth week running this week, fending off three new arrivals. Skylanders Giants enters at a very respectable #2. Just to show how much momentum the franchise has gained, the original Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure only entered the chart at #16 exactly a year ago. DOOM …
When the late Michael Jackson sung “It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white,†he may as well have been talking about Pokemon Black and White 2. Pokemon Black 2 entered the UK chart at #3 while Pokemon White 2 arrived at #5, but even if their sales were combined they wouldn’t have beaten fellow …
A Tuesday release for Resident Evil 6 has helped Capcom’s survival horror shooter become the 4th biggest release of 2012. It hasn’t been able to knock FIFA 13 off the top spot of the chart though, settling for #2, and it hasn’t beaten Resident Evil 5’s launch week sales either. Borderlands 2 moves down from …
Well, we can’t imagine many children being conceived over the past weekend – FIFA 13 has sold over a million copies since being launched on Friday, becoming the fourth game in the UK to do so within launch week. Those other three games are all Call of Duty titles if you’re wondering. FIFA 13 accounted …
Borderlands 2 has become this year’s biggest release so far, outselling the previous best – Mass Effect 3 – by 4,000 copies. 71% of copies sold at launch were on Xbox 360, with 22% on PlayStation 3 and 7% on PC. 2K Games are in fact the only publisher to have two games in this …
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 hasn’t been able to dislodge Sleeping Dogs from the top of this week’s UK chart, having to make to with #2 instead. The individual format chart show us that the PlayStation 3 version has proven to be the most popular. In fact, the Xbox 360 version was outsold by The Sims …
