FIFA goes forth

Last week wasn’t a great one for UK videogame sales. FIFA 12 holds onto the top of the chart for a fourth week running even though sales were down 54% from last week. Just Dance 3 climbs to #2 with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 finishing …

Zumba – cheaper than a gastric band

There isn’t much going on in the top five positions of the UK chart – FIFA 12 holds onto the top spot, followed by Battlefield 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Just Dance 3 and Skyrim – but the bottom half of the top 10 has seen a bit of action. Zumba Fitness hurdles …

Viva la Human Revolution!

There hasn’t been a Deus Ex game for over seven years. With a long list of glowing reviews behind it though, Deus Ex: Human Revolution has managed to do what other games could not – push Zumba Fitness off the top of the chart. Amazingly, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is already just 26,000 copies away …

Zelda: A Link to the Chart

Zumba Fitness is #1 for the 9th week in a row, but let’s ignore that shall we? Thanks. LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean is up from #5 to #2, Cars 2 holds onto #3, DiRT 3 slides from #2 to #4 and FIFA 11 goes up one place from #6 to #5. FIFA 11 has …

Smurf off

It’s yet another week for Zumba Fitness at the top spot of the UK chart. That’s eight weeks in a row and there’s no sign of it budging – Chart Track claims last week it outsold the next four titles in the chart combined. Those titles are DiRT 3, Cars 2, Just Dance 2: Extra …

The Wii is dead? Think again

The only new entry in this week’s UK top 40 is The Sims 3: Town Life Stuff at #12. There is a bit of shuffling going on in the top 10 though. Zumba Fitness unsurprisingly holds onto #1, Cars 2 dashes up from #8 to #2 – with the DS version shifting the most copies …

A lot of people put The Cartel in their cart

I don’t know what’s worse – Zumba Fitness holding #1 for the sixth week in a row, or Call of Juarez: The Cartel – which currently has a Metacritic score of 51% – taking #2 in the top 40 UK chart. The distinctly average Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows Part 2 is up from #7 …

Brink and you’ll miss it

It’s fair to say that we have Game and GameStation’s sales to thank for the big shake up in this week’s UK top 40. Just about every game they have reduced has shot back up the chart, with the most notable risers being DiRT 3 up from #2 to #7 and Call of Duty: Black …

Zumba Fitness still has stamina

Despite being around since the days of the PlayStation 2, Zumba Fitness was 505 Games’ first ever #1 when it was released about a month ago. It has now taken the top spot for a third time, knocking off Portal 2 which was #1 last week. Portal 2 is now at #2, followed by Mortal …

Zumba Fitness burns cellulite; continues to sell alright

Zumba Fitness became 505 Games’ first ever #1 last week. It’s still at #1 this week, so it’s not hard to imagine that they’re pretty pleased about that. If another Zumba game isn’t released in time for Christmas I’ll happily eat my own weight in lard. Promotion, of some kind, has helped FIFA 11 rise …

Fitness first

I should have saved last week’s ‘Aye carumba – it’s Zumba’ headline for this week – Zumba Fitness now at #1 in the chart, pushing Crysis 2 to #2. It’s the first ever #1 for 505 Games and also the first fitness game to take the top of the chart since Wii Fit Plus in …

Aye carumba – it’s Zumba

The eye-ball pleasing Crysis 2 has managed to stay at the top of the chart for another week. The game at #2 may surprise you – it isn’t MotorStorm Apocalyspe (which makes its appearance at a lowly #17) or Shift 2: Unleashed (in at #4) but rather Zumba Fitness. Not wanting to blow my own …
