Ubisoft’s ghosts send Max Payne packing

After just one week Max Payne 3 has fallen from the top spot in the chart. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Solider: Future Solider is the new #1, pushing Max Payne 3 down to #2. We assume that people had an easier time finding a copy of Capcom’s spiffing RPG Dragon’s Dogma than we did, as …

Max Payne shoots up the chart

We weren’t sure if it was going to be Max Payne 3 or Diablo 3 that would be taking the top position of this week’s chart. Diablo 3 is the first big PC release in a very long time while Max Payne 3 has the advantage of being multi-format. Turns out it’s Rockstar’s purveyor of …

Only PS3 owners have time for Marty McFly

Another week, another new UK #1. This week it’s the turn of Sniper Elite V2, which must be a good cause for celebration at Rebellion seeing as their last game – NeverDead – sunk without trace. Prototype 2 drops down to #2 and is followed by FIFA 12, FIFA Street and Mass Effect 3. This …

Prototype does alright

Prototype 2 is the UK’s new number one this week, but it’s not all good news for Activision – it hasn’t sold as well as the last game did during launch week. It has however shifted more copies than the last two number ones – The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and Kinect Star Wars. …

The Witcher hour

Even though the original was never released on consoles, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has tackled FIFA Street off the top of the chart. FIFA Street consequently drops to #2 and is followed by FIFA 12, Kinect Star Wars and Mass Effect 3. There are no other new entries in the top 40. Disgaea …

Pandora’s Tower needs some support

If this week’s UK chart was a tower then Nintendo’s Pandora’s Tower would still be on the doorstep – it makes its chart appearance at a very poor #38. This is a slight surprise – even GAME are stocking this one and reviews have been pretty good. Maybe Wii owners are still busy with The …

Kinect Star Wars on top of the podium

Mediocre reviews haven’t harmed sales of Kinect Star Wars one bit – it’s the UK’s new number one, making it the first Kinect game to go straight to the top of the chart. It’s also the first Star Wars game to enter at #1 since 2008’s Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. You have to admit …

Singing when you’re winging

There are four new entries in the top 40 this week but none of them have been able to tackle FIFA Street from the top spot. Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City – Capcom’s first western-developed Resident Evil – leaps in at #2. That’s followed by Mass Effect 3, FIFA 12, SSX and Call of Duty: …

Shepherd and Ken make the top 10

There’s no prize for guessing what the UK number one is this week. Even without GAME stocking Mass Effect 3, it has still gone on to becoming this year’s biggest game launch so far and managed to shift more copies than both Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 combined during their launches. Chart Track …

SSX has the white stuff

Two things of note have happened in this week’s UK chart. Firstly, SSX has become the first game in the series to go straight to number one. Secondly, Mario Party 9 has entered at a surprisingly high #3 making it the highest charting Mario Party game yet. Coincidentally, it has been five years since both …

Good news for THQ

It’s another week of change in the chart. Last week’s #1, Kingdoms of Amalur, drops all the way down to #12 while THQ’s UFC Undisputed 3 has gone straight to the top. It’s THQ’s first #1 since Homefront so they’ll no doubt be pleased as punch. FIFA 12, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Mario …
