UK Charts: We live In F.E.A.R

Dan Lee 27 Comments

In absolutely shocking news, Zumba is still at number one in the UK Charts. Ok I lied, it’s not that shocking. What might be shocking, perhaps, is that the oft delayed F.E.A.R 3 charted at a respectable third.

On the downside, yet another new IP falls by the roadside as Shadows of the Damned claims 31st place. Such a pity, as our review was a positive one.

Here’s the UK Top 20 in full:
1. Zumba Fitness (505 Games)
2. LA Noire (Rockstar)
3. FEAR 3 (Warner)
4. Dirt 3 (Codemasters)
5. LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean (Disney)
6. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (Nintendo)
7. FIFA 11 (EA)
8. Duke Nukem Forever (2K Games)
9. Brink (Bethesda)
10. Top Spin 4 (2K Sports)
11. InFamous 2 (Sony)
12. Crysis 2 (EA)
13. Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (Ubisoft)
14. Dungeon Siege III (Square Enix)
15. Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo)
16. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters (EA)
17. Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Activision)
18. LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (LucasArts)
19. Portal 2 (EA)
20. Virtua Tennis 4 (Sega)

  1. No CoD, are my eyes deceiving me?

    • i think its about time! maybe every 8 yr old american has the game now, who knows :P

      • come on, 8?
        clearly most cod players are 12.

      • judging by their high pitched voices and the lack of knowledge of good insulting words they have i will stick with 8 :L

      • Its Grand Theft Auto all over again. In this gen the minorty of 8-year old humans are playing teh Call of Duty.

      • wait there just realised this was UK charts, im with you on 12 now :P

      • I was waiting for that

      • It’ll be back when the bundle version is released

  2. zumba fitness is like Sebastian Vettel, no one likes him but he always comes first!
    good spot for F3AR or just FEAR 3 :P ive played a bit of the first 1 and just the demo of the second, but they looked pretty scary to me :P
    I was very impressed with shadows of the damned and would have probably bought it if i had the money :/

    • Zumba Fitness is doing what Just Dance did last year

    • Really? He’s quite popular in germany.

      • Fairly popular in Milton Keynes too!

    • I know quite a few people who like Vettle but i suppose it depends what country your in. If your based in the UK then your going to have a hatred of him as you want Hamilton and Button to win. However i got to say that is a very good comparison though if you dont like Sebastian Vettle which i dont.

  3. Well theres hardly been people talking about, I’m shocked that its released now? I thought Shadows of the Damned (..of the Damned!) would’ve been Autumn?

    Well at least the UK’s buying real games….

  4. Shame to see Shadows tank the way it has. It actually looks pretty decent. I was going to rent it but, given how badly it has sold, I might wait for the inevitable price drop at £25.

    • Thats what im doing i missed out on Enslaved when it first came out then everyone on the forums were saying how great it was when i did finally buy it about month later it was £20 brand new.

      • The problem with both games and in-particular Shadows is the replay value of them. If I’m are going to shell out £40 on a game I expect more than 8-9 hours of gameplay. If companies are going to rush games out and offer little in the way of playtime they should either release it on PSN/XBL or charge less for the disc. If not this is what happens.

      • Agreed. In a way I would prefer a pricing scheme similar to that seen on the N64. Major releases (usually 1st party) that gave you a lot of playtime, etc such as Mario64, Zelda and Banjo were a higher price than smaller 3rd party titles. The standard 39.99 for all approach used now regardless of a game’s length, quality, etc can be really annoying at times.

      • Talk about prices dropping, Enslaved is now selling for £7.85 on Zavvi. It pays to be patient.

  5. Hang on, there’s no COD? Hallelujah….

    Maybe people have realised Treyarch suck balls.

    • Wait, so Treyarch are meant to be the rubbish studio? What an idiotic comment to make.

  6. How is FIFA 11 still so high in the charts. In the charts yes as people are still buying it but at number 7.

    • Yeah, I thought that was a weird one too. Bit of a surprise to me!

  7. it’s F.3.A.R. isn’t it.

    see, i can use capitals on special occasions. ^_^

    • I got that instead of SOTD I will get it maybe next week.

  8. Go Cole…..
