You like shiny HD graphics? Do you think they’re the best thing ever? Some of us have become accustomed to how highly-polished the aesthetics of our games are, and we’d gladly rip the developers a new one if their games looked “last-gen.” However, not everyone agrees, and surprisingly enough, legendary Final Fantasy creator Hironobu...

There’s been a large infusion of new blood in to the top of the all format chart this week – Final Fantasy XIII-2 has entered at number one, followed by fellow newcomer Metal Gear Solid HD Collection at number two. This has pushed last week’s number one, FIFA 12, down into fourth behind third placed Battlefield 3. Our third new face, Project...

Another week has come and gone, and finally the new year begins to see its new crop of releases. However, in the last few weeks, gamers seemed dead set in their ways. Modern Warfare 3 continues its dominating streak against the rest of the market, fighting again with Ubisoft’s Just Dance 3. The Master Assassin made a surprise comeback in the last week as...

About a month into the new year, and we’re finally seeing more titles that we should be excited about.

FIFA 12 successfully held off against a surge in Modern Warfare 3 sales to remain at number one last week, with Skyrim dropping into third place and Just Dance 3 into fourth. Battlefield 3 remains in fifth place and – finally – we have some new blood in the chart in the form of 3DS title Resident Evil: Revelations which has entered in sixth. There...

It was another round of musical chairs this past week for the Top 10 titles. Kinect Adventures! and Just Dance 3 continue to fight for the #1 spot. Skyrim‘s dragons aren’t backing down from Modern Warfare 3‘s gunfire, and Mario doesn’t seem to care that his race kart is stuck in the middle. Let’s just let those crazy 10 keep...

Last week’s UK sales chart showed a significant bump for Rayman Origins, a title that reviewer after reviewer has lauded but, up to now, has been backburnered by gamers. Pricing stunts (like a weeklong $20 sale at US Toys R Us outlets) have helped goose sales, but apparently positive word-of-mouth will only take an oddball 2D platformer so far. Yes, I...
