UK Games Charts: 16/07/12

Lego Batman 2 still sits atop the charts. This marks the fourth week in a row that the caped crusader and his super-powered chums are hogging the top spot – equalling FIFA 12’s accomplishment.

It’s a good week for superheroes too, your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is swinging in at number 3 and Batman makes another appearance, thanks to Rocksteady’s Arkham City at number 11.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier is climbing again, thanks to retail promotions. It makes its way back up to fifth position, leapfrogging Spec Ops The Line in the battle for third person military shooter fans’ hard earned cash. Indication that competitive pricing beats new-release hype?

  1. Now that Dragons Dogma and Spec Ops are starting to slip down the charts (the former in particular) maybe I can find copies for under £30! Amazed at how long DD has held its value

  2. These lego games are doing really well, 2 in the top 20 at the moment. Im hardly surprised, from the two ive played they are so fun to play. After I finish with the PotC and HP ones i’ll probably move onto Batman.

    • I’m a big fan of them but I just wish TT would address some of the fundamental issues which have hampered them since the days of Lego Star Wars 1. Batman 2 still has perspective problems and some very iffy split screens in multiplayer.

      Whoever designed the driving mechanics for Lego Batman 2 needs to have a long hard look at themselves as well, it could so easily have been a lot of of fun to cane about Gotham in the batmobile, but alas, it is instead just frustrating.

      • Even I’ve noticed some problems from the bits ive played. Perspective is a massive problem for me, i fall to my death many due to the lack of depth in the game. Also the driving in HP was shocking, one little turn would send you back the other way!
        I did intent to complete the game in coop but when we (my brother and I) saw the spilt screen we decided to complete on our own :P

      • I find superman the only way to travel. :)
