Another week, another shift in the charts. With the holiday season releases looming large, the battle is on to see who will reign supreme between the Big Three consoles. This past week, Battlefield 3 was slightly unseated thanks to a Mr. Nathan Drake and his adventures in Uncharted 3, but we don’t anticipate that for long. Sonic Generations zoomed into the...

November. It’s here. It really is here, and it’s not going to let you go. Thanksgiving in the States is just a few more weeks away, and we’re already being put to sleep from late nights in front of the TV and our copy of Skyrim. Well, that’s what you’re supposed to be doing, right? Set it all aside, because this week is bringing...

It may not be an exact remake of A Link to the Past for the 3D hand-held, but series producer Eiji Aonuma said that a revisit to old-school top-down Legend of Zelda for the 3DS is a definite possibility.

Naughty Dog’s Unchartered 3: Drake’s Deception has failed to capture the top spot, with Battlefield 3 still managing to hold its ground despite a fairly large drop in sales. FIFA 12 remains at number three, Batman: Arkham City slides down from number two to number four, and Just Dance 3 completes the top five as a non-mover for the second week...

While the beginnings of November rumble in with an epic release schedule, the triple-A trend is already apparent in U.S. charts. Long-standing Top 10 contenders have gracefully bowed out, and Battlefield 3 enjoyed being King of the Hill this past week in the U.S. Batman: Arkham City still hangs on to the Top 10 at #4 and #5. Newcomer Dragon Ball Z debuted at #11...

Remember, remember, the 8th of November. Well, that’s not how it actually goes, but gamers will forever remember this first full week of November because of all the explosive titles assaulting us from all angles. Next week won’t be any easier, but let’s just focus on the now, right? Modern Warfare 3 launches this week worldwide, and let’s...

With Skyward Sword due out fairly soon on the Wii, news of a new Zelda title for the struggling mobile platform may be a welcome announcement for Nintendo. There’s little faith in the upcoming Wii U, and there’s even less certainty in the future of the 3DS, despite Nintendo’s push to have new and engaging games for the 3DS. In an interview with...
