None of last week’s new releases were able to topple FIFA 20 from the UK chart top spot, with the sports sim remaining no.1 for a second week. Despite middling reviews – resulting in a 57% Metacritic – Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint debuts at #2. It’ll be interesting to see if it can stay …
Despite FIFA 20 being officially announced over the weekend, it’s FIFA 19 that claims the UK chart top spot this week, all thanks to Sony’s current Days of Play sale. The event sees several first-party games reduced at retailers, along with reductions on select hardware. This includes PS4 bundles with FIFA 19 as a pack-in. …
There’s a notable theme to this week’s UK top 40 – dozens of first-party PS4 titles have either risen by several places or re-entered the chart. This is all down to Sony’s current ‘Days of Play’ promotion, which sees numerous key titles discounted. It seems a price cut to around £35 was enough to secure …
In a battle of the biceps between Kratos and Conan, Sony’s star came out on top. God of War is the UK’s no.1 for a fourth consecutive week. It still has some way to go to beat the record held by a Sony published title, though – in 2001 Gran Turismo 3 took the top …
No less than five titles in this week’s UK top ten are first-party exclusives. God of War takes the top spot for a third week running, while newcomer Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze swings in at #2. Tropical Freeze is technically a re-entry. According to GamesIndustry.biz though, only 44 copies were sold on Wii U last …
Considering it’s still the talk of gaming town, it comes as no surprise to find God of War holding onto no.1 for the second week running. And yes, it did face competition. The catchily named Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 01: Variety Kit entered at #3 – also topping the Switch chart – while the slightly more …
God of War wasn’t able to strip Far Cry 5 of its title as the fastest-selling new release of 2018, but it did have the strongest launch in the franchise so far, taking no.1 in the process. The previous fastest-selling entry in the series was God of War III, incidentally; one of just two past …
PS4-exclusives God of War and Yakuza 6 have more in common than both centring upon parental responsibilities. Sony and SEGA were so confident in review scores being positively glowing that their review embargos lifted long before launch. That faith was well placed – God of War has gained a slew of 10/10s, along with numerous …
Sony’s E3 2012 press conference came and went, much as expected, and a little light on dramatic unveilings. Whilst the big hitters such as The Last of Us and God of War: Ascension oozed quality, the biggest surprise of the night was arguably Wonderbook, an augmented reality… book. In its favour, the first Wonderbook title, …
Last week was an eventful one for new releases. This week? Not so much, but there’s a fair old bit of variety. Perhaps not for PlayStation 3 owners though, as their new releases aren’t actually all that new – they’re Splinter Cell Trilogy HD and God of War Collection Volume II. Eurogamer said that the …
This Week’s Games There’s no Bond movie this year yet there’s not one but two James Bond games out this week. If the early reviews are to go by then it’s GoldenEye 007 on Wii that’s the one to spend your golden coins on. GoldenEye 007 scored a lofty 9 on IGN but they only …
