UK Charts This week’s chart is a sight for sore eyes with lots of interesting things happening. Tom Clancy’s HAWK 2 has gone from #10 to #2, Tetris Party Deluxe has risen all the way from #23 to #5 and the apparently quite good Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions has crawled in at #6. Spidey is followed …
UK Charts As reported by our fine selves, Mafia II isn’t expected to make a profit for 2K Games. Even so, it’s #1 for a second week running, followed by Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, Wii Sports Resort, Toy Story 3 and the ever popular Red Dead Redemption. Tom Clancy’s HAWX 2 enters at …
UK Charts It has been six years since the last Mafia – which was first released on PC, before being converted to PlayStation 2 and Xbox – but a lengthy wait and mediocre reviews haven’t harmed the franchise. Mafia II has gone straight to #1, pushing Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days – which has …
UK Charts Two things of note have occurred in chart land this week. Firstly, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has become the UK’s best selling game ever after 41 weeks on sale. Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training was the previous best selling UK game ever, followed by GTA: San Andreas. Secondly, Square-Enix’s Kane & Lynch …
UK Charts Toy Story 3 has claimed its third consecutive #1, which is more than any other Disney published title before it. So far this year only 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, Red Dead Redemption and Just Dance have stayed longer at the top of the chart. Nintendo’s Art Academy has had a very …
UK Charts Starcraft II has only managed to stay on top of the chart for one week – it’s now at #4, pushed down by the likes of Toy Story 3 which has risen back to the top of the chart. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has gone back up from #8 to #2 …
UK Charts Activision Blizzard’s PC RTS Starcraft II has gone straight to #1, selling more copies in the UK in just one week than the original’s entire UK lifetime sales. Chart Track tells us that the original – which was released in 1998 – entered the chart at #24 and that it wasn’t even the …
UK Charts There isn’t a single game in the top 10 chart this week that’s in the same place it was last week. Mostly notably, the jolly decent Toy Story 3 has risen from #5 to #1, DS-exclusive Dragon Quest IX enters at #10 while Crackdown 2 drops all the way from #1 to #10. …
UK Charts Usually we grumble about movie tie-ins selling well, but word has it that Toy Story 3 is surprisingly inventive so we have no issues with it entering at #5 in the chart. But what’s this? Dance on Broadway has gone from #4 to #2, pushing LEGO Harry Potter to #3. That’s a grumble …
UK Charts Crackdown 2 has become Microsoft’s first all formats #1 of 2010. The last one only managed to get to #2, so all those sales of pre-owned copies haven’t been in vein. LEGO Harry Potter drops to #2, followed by Red Dead Redemption, Dance on Broadway and 2010 FIFA World Cup. Naughty Bear and …
UK Charts Three of last week’s releases are in the top 10 chart this week. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 enters at #4 – thus proving that all publicity is good publicity – Dance on Broadway taps in at #6 while Sniper: Ghost Warrior shoots in at #10. Publisher City Interactive must be pretty pleased …
UK Charts Christ on a moped – this week’s chart is a bit of a shocker. LEGO Harry Potter has gone straight to #1, pushing Red Dead Redemption to #2. Naughty Bear enters at #5 (early reviews suggest it’s pretty unbearable, crap pun intended), the ace Demon’s Souls at #6 and Transformers: War for Cyberton …
UK Charts It’s Monday, which can only mean one thing – a round up of the top 40 UK charts. Red Dead Redemption is #1 for the 5th week running, Super Mario Galaxy 2 holds onto #2 with 2010 FIFA World Cup still at #3. Codemaster’s International Cricket 2010 is the highest new entry at …
UK Charts E3 is underway, so there are slightly more interesting things to be writing about than the top 40 UK chart. As such, we’ll keep it brief this week. Red Dead Redemption has managed to fend off Super Mario Galaxy 2 – Rockstar’s cowboy sim holds onto #1 with the chubby plumber at #2. …
UK Charts Despite very few games being released last week there has been a slight shuffle in the top 10 chart. The Sims 3: Ambitions is the sole new entry at #5 while both Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and Split/Second: Velocity have left the top 10 already. They were at #8 and #6 …
