UK Charts: Modern Warfare 2 claims Xmas number one photo

It's the last UK Chart listing before Christmas, and you know what means -- the inevitability of Call of Duty becoming the Christmas number one. Modern Warfare 2 has maintained its stranglehold on the game-buying public and is sure to find itself under many a Christmas tree this year. The poor noobs have no idea what awaits them when they go into multiplayer and meet a sh*tload of perk-laden veterans.

As Christmas comes and videogame purchases are predominantly undertaken by family members who don't normally buy games, there has been a surge of old favorites hitting the chart this week -- FIFA 10, Mario & Sonic, Wii Fit Plus -- plenty of casual chicanery for the family to enjoy. 

Still, Left 4 Dead 2 jumped up a couple places. That's something. Hit the jump for the full chart.

 

  1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  2. FIFA 10
  3. Wii Fit Plus
  4. Wii Sports Resort
  5. Assassin's Creed 2
  6. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
  7. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
  8. Forza Motorsport 3
  9. Mario Kart Wii
  10. Just Dance
  11. Left 4 Dead 2
  12. James Cameron's Avatar: The Game
  13. Lego Batman
  14. Professor Layton and Pandora's Box
  15. Need for Speed: Shift
  16. Pure
  17. Brain Training
  18. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
  19. Rabbids Go Home
  20. F1 2009

is that the old Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games there or is it the Winter Olympics one? because if it's the old one, it is mighty sad that it's beating out New Super Mario Bros Wii.

That would be hilarious if it was the old Mario and Sonic game but highly unlikely considering it came out in 2007. I guess somebody left out the word "Winter" in the title.

Also, British people drink Budweiser?

Why does that guy in the hat and bear in his mouth with the ring on his pinky and necklace while in a club reminding me of homosexuality?
