Crysis 2 held its number one position on the UK charts last week, denying Shift 2: Unleashed the position. It’s also a shame that Motorstorm Apocalypse didn’t even make it in the top ten, something we’re sure was caused by the delay confusion because of the Japan earthquake crisis.
Besides that, Homefront is in fifth, a strong hold for a game that scored extremely poor, and neither Killzone 3 nor Bullestorm managed to steal a spot in the top ten.
The full quencher’s below the break.
It’s another weekly UK gaming charts moment, and this time, we see Nintendo power take it over, as the firm’s Pokemon White and Pokemon Black lands at the number one and two spots respectively.
Bulletstorm and Killzone 3 also appeared in the top ten, but those two games came in 4th and 5th respectively, as Fight Night Champion grabbed the number 3 spot.
Full list can be found after the break.
Take-Take has just announced that Rockstar’s westerner Red Dead Redemption has sold 8 million units on PS3 and Xbox 360.
Chart-Track’s released its UK game sales numbers, and amongst the throng, in the top ten, you’ll find Black Ops, Just Dance 2, FIFA 11 and Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood.
In the number spot of the same list, however, you’ll find Media Molecule’s masterpiece: LittleBigPlanet 2. Full quencher’s past the jump.
That’s right, even after Vince Zampella and Jason West were dismissed from Infinity Ward, taking with them a third of the company’s talent, Activision contends that the developer’s still one of the most talented, not only in America, but the world.

According to the NPD, Microsoft’s Halo: Reach is now the top selling title of 2010 in the U.S.

In Modern Warfare 2, the brutality of war was evidently when the “No Russian” scene was released onto the web. It sent the gaming world into a heated debate, and even the Russian government weren’t too happy with the portrayal.
Now that Treyarch’s title, Call of Duty: Black Ops is coming, the question was posed to the developer concerning the brutality of war, and whether they’d shy away from such controversy.
For them, it’s all part of the game, but it won’t be “gratuitous”.
Activision relies heavily on a few major franchises. The most recognizable is Call of Duty, which sees a game release every year, switching development between Infinity Ward and Treyarch. Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst, Michael Pachter, believes it’s bad business practice by Activsion to rely too heavily on just a few brands, therefore, according to him, they’re slipping, and not even Black Ops will be able to help.
