UK Charts: Final Fantasy XIII wins, obviously photo

Really, what else would be topping the chart during Final Fantasy XIII launch week? We are still playing that behemoth for our review but it appears we're almost over. Hopefully that'll be coming very soon, as soon as we stop grinding for delicious CP. Boy, could that last sentence be taken out of context ...

Anyway, Bad Company 2 takes second place, followed inexplicably by Just Dance. Heavy Rain is still making an impressive effort, hanging in at number four. The rest of the chart is nothing you haven't seen before, except for a number fourteen debut for Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising

As always, hit the jump for the full chart. 

 

  1. Final Fantasy XIII
  2. Battlefield: Bad Company 2
  3. Just Dance
  4. Heavy Rain
  5. Wii Fit Plus
  6. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  7. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
  8. Aliens vs. Predator
  9. Wii Sports Resort
  10. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
  11. FIFA 10
  12. BioShock 2 
  13. Ben 10: Alien Force - Vilgax Attacks
  14. Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising
  15. Grand Theft Auto IV
  16. James Cameron's Waste Of Money: The Game
  17. Lego Batman
  18. Professor Layton & Pandora's Box
  19. Forza Motorsport 3
  20. Mario Kart Wii

Apparently there are still enough stupid people who would buy Just Dance to make it in the top 3.

Seriously does anyone still need to buy Modern Warfail 2?

It would be interesting to see trade in charts you know, I wonder how far it's climbing up those?!

Chuffed to See Heavy Rain still up there.

Just noticed the bit about "grinding for delicious CP". Possibly the funniest thing you've ever written, Jim.

Hasn't everybody in the galaxy that is interested in call of duty 2 already bought it? I mean, I haven't, because I'm not interested. What the heck.. Talk about long legs. I can understand an ongoing 5-6k games per month, but COD is overdoing it!

BTW, dice should handle the vip code thing better. That lock to EA account is not good.

That's a good point, where is Ass Erect 2? People on here were making out like it was the Citizen Kane of gaming or something?!?

Suppose it turns out that limiting your game to the cheap console doesn't work as well in the UK as it does in the USA.

Maybe if that Cunt-ry didn't spend so much money invading less fortunate Countries and preparing for global conquest it's population would be able to buy proper consoles, rather than settle for the Xfail360.

Boom!

I almost got attacked when I traded in FF13 at gamestop last night. I had to throw it like a pipe bomb and everyone ran after it. Damn, left 4 dead taught me a new skill!

The most likely case is that ALL British gamers bought Mass Effect 2 already and thus everybody has a copy already. Yup, Mass Effect 2 is just that good. Gotta love the 360 AND the PC (yes there's a PC version, crazy isn't it?)

PC gamers....



... don't count.

I mean who games on a fucking PC these days?

(Joking, put the torch out and the fork down)

To be honest, even my Xbox fanboy buddies, I don't think a single one of them has shown the slightest bit of interest in Mass Effect 2.

As far as my circle of friends goes, Xbox players love themselves some Call of Duty and not a whole lot else, one of which has both PS3 and Xbox, and is certain that Modern Warfail 2 "looks" better on Xbox.

My opinion is: Who gives two fucks which version of a shit game looks better? I'm too busy playing MAG and Bad Company 2 to give even half a shit.

Seriously though, i see my friends list on PS3 playing White knight cronicles, Heavy Rain, Bad Company, MAG, Demon's Souls etc - a good selection of interesting games.

My Xbox owning friends are ALL still playing Modern Warfail 2, one of them stopped breifly to play FF13, but is disapointed with it apparently.

let's hope that FF13 enough to make back it's development costs but not enough to continue the backward thinking that created the incredibly flawed experience that is FF13.

I agree most xbots play mw2, but mass effect 2 is one of the better gaming experiences this year. Seriously if they ported it to ps3 I would buy it and beat it again just to have beat it on both consoles. Everyone should play that game.

I would also buy Mass Effect 2 if it were on PS3, but seems like the people I know who can play it, aren't bothered.

Weird.

@ sexual So you would buy ME2 if it were on PS3 but since it isn't, you have to make fun of it. Haters got to hate I guess. Where's Uncharted 2. Guess the game is irrelevant.

Ummmm sorry uncharted 2 and mass effect 2 don't belong in the same sentence superjay. While mass effect 2 is great Uncharted 2 is unbelieveable. The gameplay and the scope of that game is far and away the best ever put out for a console. That'll all change tonight. Gow3:)

------------------

I'm not hating on Mass Effect 2, I think it looks pretty damn cool, and suggested my Xbox buddy check it out recently. sure, I wouldn't buy a 360 to play it, but I would certainly get it if it was on PS3 or if i had a game-able PC.

I just like the name Ass Erect.

I ain't a hater, I just like rude words!

I agree that both of them don't belong in the same sentence but because I think ME2 is awesome and Uncharted is overhyped but that's beside the point. My point is just because the game isn't in the top 15 doesn't mean the game sucks.

Really! Final Fantasy XIII! A JRPG in the UK top charts, most of my friends hate Japan just for existing, in fact I'm probably the only person in my town that doesn't play fucking Call of Duty: MW2 until it fucking comes out of my ass!

@superjay

both are 3rd person cover based shooters. 1 with rpg elements. 1 with widely praised and innovative gameplay and graphics. How is one more overhyped than the other. I can at least say I loved them both. U2 just goes above and beyond in scope and cinematics. You said SC sounded like a hater. Take a look in the mirror. Do you own a ps3??? Serious question. Just curious.

Anytime I see a game get 10's The game has to be perfect in my eyes. When I played the game at home I didn't think the game was perfect. If you think so good for you. If I am a hater you are also a hater because you said both games don't belong in the same sentence. I have a ps3 and I'm buying GOW3 tomorrow. I don't buy games based on hype. I buy them because I enjoy them. I played GOW3 demo and I thought it was awesome. I also love me3. Played it twice already.
