Out of the five or so new releases that last week gave us, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze has managed to chart the highest, entering at a respectable #9. Rayman Legends leaps back up from #33 to #10 due to the belated Xbox One and PlayStation 4 conversions, while Rambo: The Video Game makes its mark …
For a second week in a row it’s a busy week for new releases, even if the term ‘new’ is pushing it a bit for two of them. Rayman Legends, for one, isn’t all that fresh. The armless chap makes a belated appearance on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this week, available for around …
Back in the days when arcade machines were synonymous with gaming rather than gambling, a simple way for developers to see if they had a hit on their hands was to put it on test in a local arcade. If a player died repeatedly yet still continued to put money into the machine it was …
If any mega franchise was going to be able to dislodge Grand Theft Auto V from the top of the UK chart after just one week, it was FIFA. And that’s exactly what has happened, even with sales of FIFA 14 down 24% that of FIFA 13. Chart-Track believes that’s “possibly due to all the …
No doubt thanks to the current £24.99 price-tag, Deep Silver’s Saints Row IV has managed to hold the top spot in the UK top 40 for a fourth row running. You have to wonder just how many copies are going to be traded in tomorrow. At #2 it’s a new entry – Kingdom Hearts HD …
We were under the impression that Activision decided not to give Diablo 3 a great deal of promotion, only to learn that an extensive TV advertising campaign has been under way.

It would seem that Deep Silver’s acquisition of Volition is paying off – Saints Row IV has claimed the UK top 40 top spot for a second week running. Last week it was reported that over a million copies have been sold so far, so perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise to learn that it’s …
You’d think that after last week’s slew of new big name releases that this week would be looking a little bare. Amazingly for a summer month, that’s not the case. We’ve got not one but two games that are finally with us after facing lengthy delays. Whereas the extra development time for Rayman Legends has …
A few Wii U games were curiously absent from the European launch. It’s frustrating as the reasons why we can’t have the likes of Scribblenauts Unlimted, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge and Sing Party – despite them being available in America – are pretty trivial. Rayman Legends is another one delayed from the launch line-up, …
From what we can ascertain, the only game arriving at retail this week is Agricultural Simulator 2013 on PC. We’re pretty sure you don’t want to hear 400-odd words about that, so here’s a round-up of what’s available in the world of downloads. The Dishonored: Dunwall City Trials expansion hits Xbox Live this week for …
