Uncharted 2: Among FIFAs
UK Charts The high praise that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has been receiving has managed to get it into #2 in the chart. FIFA 10 holds onto the top position, with Mario & Sonic at the Winter Games skating in at #5, Brutal Legend at #7 (I bet Activision wish they’d kept hold of it …
Here Be Dragons
UK Charts There’s oodles of new releases in the top 40 this week with the highest being Codemaster’s Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising at #2. Scribblenauts is at #12 (huzzah!), the turgid Star Wars: Clone Wars – Republic Heroes at #15 (boo!) and the oddly named Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days at #17. Up is doing much …
Thierry on Wii
UK Charts I think EA might have finally realised that decent games sell better than shit ones – review scores have been glowing for FIFA 10 this year, which have seemingly helped it become the second fastest selling game in the UK so far. True, even if it was on the mediocre side it still …
Go! Go! Halo!
UK Charts Another week, another new #1. This time it’s the less than full price Halo 3: ODST. Chart Track says it hasn’t sold as many copies has Halo 3 did – which was released exactly this week two years ago – but I doubt that Microsoft are too concerned about that. There’s a new …
Sound Clash
UK Charts Guitar Hero 5 has managed to dislodge the caped crusader off the top of the chart. It’s the first Guitar Hero to go straight to #1 leaving The Beatles: Rock Band to settle for #4, under Colin McRae: Dirt 2 at #2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum at #3. The next new entry in …
Plane crazy
UK Charts This week’s chart hints that the PSP’s fortunes are on the turn with Dissidia: Final Fantasy entering the top 40 chart at #10. It’s not the highest new entry though – IL2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey has gone in at #6. Here’s what else is going on in the top #10 – Batman …
Ashes to Ashes
UK Charts England won the Ashes yesterday, but Codemaster’s Ashes Cricket 2009 in no longer #1 having been shoved back to #3 by Wolfenstien – which enters at #2 – and Wii Sports Resort, which goes back to the top of the chart. Madden NFL 10 has left the top 10 already, dropping from #8 …
Sticky wickets
UK Charts Codemaster’s Ashes Cricket 2009 remains #1 for the second week running. There’s something comforting about seeing a Codemaster’s game at #1. It’s like 1985 all over again. There’s just one new entry in the top 10 – Madden NFL 10 at a surprisingly high #8 – but EA’s own Fight Night Round 4 …
Totally resorted
UK Charts Just one new entry in the top 40 and a predictable one at that – Wii Sports Resort at a resounding #1. It’s the fourth fastest selling Wii game so far behind Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii and Mario & Sonic at the Olympics. Interestingly, Grand Slam Tennis – the only other Wii …
Tiger Tiger
UK Charts The top 10 chart has had a shuffle. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 is now #1, pushing Fight Night Round 4optical amplifier to #2. Harry Potter and the Overblown Special Effects Budget (or whatever it’s called) is up from #10 to #4 while Call of Duty 4 is back in the top 10 …
Boxing Clever
UK Charts Nintendo’s Punch Out failed the set the charts ablaze (it didn’t even make it into the top 40, believe it or not) but EA’s Fight Night Round 4 is doing nicely at #1 for its second week. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 goes in at #2 with the PlayStation 3 version shifting the …
Get ready to grumble
UK Chart Better late than never? Let’s find out! Fight Night Round 4 – four of them already? – is new, and straight in at #1. Smashing the competition in the face, if you like. Below that, last week’s top four all shuffle down a place, so it’s Prototype – or [PROTOTYPE] as Chart Track …
