UK Chart Surprise! Nintendo’s Mystery Case Files: Millionheir makes its mark in the chart at #4, which just goes to show what a spot of TV advertising will do for a game. Left 4 Dead is on the rise from #29 to #15 due to being reduced on the high street (£29.99 at Game if …
UK Chart No SimAnimals in the top 40 this week, but it does go in at #16 in the Wii chart and at #20 in the DS chart. There isn’t much going on in the top 40 at all, really: Wii Fit is still #1, Lord of the Rings: Conquest has dropped out of the …
UK Chart There were only three new games out last week, but they’ve done all right in the top 40 chart. Skate 2 skates in like a thing on skates at #3, followed by the budget-priced My Fitness Coach at #7. Tomb Raider: Underworld is back at #9 up from #33 thanks to the freshly …
UK Chart It’s official – nobody reads reviews any more. The Lord of the Rings: Conquest, which has been receiving middling reviews, goes in at #3 in the top 40 chart. It’s #1 in the Xbox 360 chart and #3 in the PlayStation 3 chart, which is pretty surprising given how many recent games are …
UK Chart Let’s start at the bottom of this week’s chart and work our way up, like they do on the singles chart on the radio. At #40 this week it’s a re-entry for Saints Row 2, then another re-entry for Left 4 Dead at #37. Lara is on a slippery slope down dropping from …
UK Chart With only a few big name games on the horizon – Lord of the Rings: Conquest, Skate 2 and 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, to be precise – the top ten chart is unlikely to change dramatically for a good while. This week, for example, the only things of note are Far …
UK Chart The sales have had an impact on the top 40 chart this week, with the likes of Sonic Unleashed, Far Cry 2, Mirror’s Edge – which is a nice £14.71 at Tesco – and Shaun White Snowboarding all rising up a fair few places. Gears of War 2 and GTA IV have also …
UK Chart So here it is, merry Christmas, everybody is kicking a piece of virtual spherical leather around. Yes, FIFA 09 is the Christmas number one. It’s EA’s sixth in eight years, so well done them. I’m just glad it wasn’t Need for Speed: Undercover. Call of Duty: World of War, which was tipped for …
UK Chart The top ten is largely the same as last week, apart from Lara’s latest dropping from #6 to #10. What is notable though is that a few titles have risen up significantly due to being reduced on the high street. Sonic Unleashed has gone from #33 to #12 while Quantum of Solace leaps …
UK Chart Expecting Animal Crossing: Let’s Go to the City to be riding high in the chart this week? Think again – it goes in at a less-than-great #26. Ubisoft’s Persian Prince arrives at #30, and in its second week of release Sonic Unleashed enters at #33. It’s half price at Gamestation this week, so …
UK Chart EA’s extensive advertising for the mediocre Need for Speed Undercover is paying off – it’s now #2 in the chart, up from #4. Call of Duty World at War holds on to #1, while Resistance 2 enters at #10. There’s only one other new entry in the whole of the top 40, and …
UK Chart It’s not uncommon for a game to drop ten or so places in a week, but World of Warcraft: Wrath of Lich King has gone all the way from #2 to #34. Gears of War 2 has fallen from #4 to #14 too, while Professor Layton goes from #7 to #18. Call of …
UK Chart PC gaming is dead? Not so – two PC games have entered in the top ten this week. World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King at #2 and Sega’s Football Manager 2009 at #3. Of course Call of Duty: World at War takes the top spot, and has become the third fastest …
UK Chart There are four new entries in the top ten this week: Gears of War 2 is top of the lot and has become the third best selling Xbox 360 title, LittleBigPlanet goes in at #4, WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009 at #5, and the lovely Professor Layton and the Curious Village at #6. …
UK Chart It would seem that if you want a game to get into the top 10 this season, it has to start with the letter F. Fallout 3 goes in at #1, followed by FIFA 09 at #2. Fable II has dropped from #1 to #4, while Far Cry 2 has gone from #2 …
