UK Charts: Dynasty Warriors 7 makes top ten! photo

In news that has shocked even this hardcore Dynasty Warriors fan, Dynasty Warriors 7 made it to number ten in the UK Charts this week! This would be the first major sales success for Omega Force outside of Japan since ... well ... forever. 

Seriously cool news, though. I had a feeling DW7 would do better than usual, but not by this amount. I'm pleased to see one of my favorite games doing so well, and thus offer my congratulations. Enemy officer defeated!

Elsewhere, Crysis 2 has finally been knocked to second place by Zumba Fitness, Homefront hangs in at number six, and Pokemon Black occupies eighth place, just above White's nine. Not racist!

Check below for the full chart.

  2. Crysis 2
  3. LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars 
  4. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters
  5. Shift 2: Unleashed

Wow, maybe now Omega Force will have the resources and backing to really push for some improvements to the DW formula. Suddenly I am drooling thinking of the possibilities for the empires spinoff.

7 is differently the best DW game yet. So many improvements from the last few games I can't believe they could change so much.

Zumba Fitness? I should consider a career in the gaming business. Shit turns to gold in that industry.

At least DW7 got a 3/5 on xplay, they always seem to give DW games a 1/5

GRAPHIC ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!!!!

What you fuckers don't realise is that zumba tightens women up and gives them fantastic figures. I can't think of a single game I would want at the number 1 spot than zumba.

The problem is not that the game is about zumba, the problem is the game itself is an unfinished piece of *%$*.

If you want such a technical embarrassment in the top ten, destroy all your consoles, and delete System 32. The game industry will thrive without you.

Bless you, getting all angry about the casuals. Don't you know they're going to take over the world?

You best delete your system 32, I hear it's the only thing that will save you when they stampede over you.

I can't believe Pokemon Black is selling more than White! Such noobs. Pokemon White is superior because you reunuclus is on Pokemon White and that thing is overpowered! Plus you access the White forrest for even MOAR Pokemon!

I'm sure it's due to your excellent coverage on the game, Jim. I'd say this is definitely the biggest cultural event for the series!

First off let me apologize. I insulted you without provocation, and that was wrong. Let me say though that I didn't really mean to insult you, I was more venting my frustration at how some game devs/publishers/whoever would allow such a sloppy product onto the market, essentially selling junk to the poor "casuals" that will buy it.

I have nothing against zumba, my mother and girlfriend are both users of the zumba program. However this game... It's shit. Its unfinished, its buggy, and I just feel like the industry as a whole can't mature until people stop shoveling shit towards the casuals, and take them seriously as a customer.

bring tears to my eye, im happy one of my favorite franchise finally achieve such success. never had i ever enjoy dw franchise as much as 7, but i wonder how they sell so well. Now I wait for sengoku musou 3 z to release in the west. Im sure Jim made dw7 top 10 happen, now i wait for you to make it happen just like how you made gundam musou 3 getting a release date. now, would you kindly flick your magic finger and make sw3 z release a reality, i believe in your existence more so than everyone here i bet.
