UK Charts: Call of Duty reclaims the top spot photo

Last week, the UK number one chart position enjoyed a brief reprieve from bayonets and screaming banzai attacks as FIFA 09 smacked Call of Duty: World at War into second place. Well, Bobby Kotick can resume rubbing his swollen, gold-filled ballbags with erotic glee once again, as CoD is back on top.

Amazingly, the charts have barely changed at all since I've started making this a weekly feature. Just remember last week's chart and slightly rearrange a few titles. I don't think there is really anything fantastically new to tell you. Sonic Unleashed somehow got into the top ten, and Gears of War 2 crawled up a little to number 12, but there's nothing else of note. Nothing. 

The sheer lack of anything resembling a LittleBigPlanet is pretty bad too. No Sony exclusives in the top twenty is rough going, especially with LBP hoping to be a big holiday hit. L'sigh. 

Hit the jump for the full top twenty.

  2. FIFA 09

Wii Play seems like it will forever be on lists like this. It's sickening.

@Holyetheline

People aren't going out to the store to pick up the game - it's a pack-in with a wiimote, so it's a matter of coming home with a wiimote, or coming home with a wiimote and a new game to try it out with for an additional 2 pounds. (I'm basing this on the Amazon UK prices, I have no idea what the costs are in the stores)

The only reason I don't mind these kinds of "news" stories are the pictures. Bravo, Jim.

I <3 those chav pics Jim posts. I used to think he just picked out the most outrageous, ridiculous examples he could find... but now, after moving from Norway to Middlesbrough (which I can only assume is Britain's arsehole), I know better.

I see these people every day now. Hanging out with their bicycles. They have truly redefined my concept of white trash.

I hate the way people at my british school always play that game or talk about it, I mean, its just another sequel. As far as I'm concerned, it has nothing extra to offer at all. For the stagnancy of the charts, well that was expected. Keep up the chav pics Jim!

@Fury-Genesis - Everywhere in Britain is Britain's arsehole, it barely gets different from Middlesborough ;)
