UK Charts: Modern Warfare 2 in chart topper SHOCKER! photo

Holy wow, it's Modern Warfare 2 and it's at the top of the UK Chart! How could this be possible? It's like ten miracles wrapped up in wonder! Always nice to see the underdog beat its rivals and take the top slot, right? 

Yeah, so Modern Warfare 2 does what it will be doing for the rest of the year and jealously guards its place atop the pile. FIFA 10 follows it, while Assassin's Creed 2 remains strong, despite some people acting like Destructoid personally destroyed the game and single-handedly melted all physical copies of it. 

The rest of the chart brings us a shedload of Wii games, while Batman: Arkham Asylum re-enters the chart at the very bottom. I guess the Dark Knight is going to end up under a few Christmas trees this year. In any case, hit that jump for the full shakes. 

I have no idea what full shakes means.

  1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  2. FIFA 10
  3. Assassin's Creed 2
  4. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
  5. Wii Sports Resort
  6. Wii Fit Plus
  7. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
  8. Lego Indiana Jones 2
  9. Forza Motorsport 3
  10. Mario Kart Wii
  11. Lego Batman
  12. Professor Layton and Pandora's Box
  13. Need for Speed: Shift
  14. Left 4 Dead 2
  15. WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2010
  16. F1 2009
  17. Pro Evolution Soccer 2010
  18. Pure
  19. Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training
  20. Batman: Arkham Asylum

Batman's back in the chart because Gamestation are now charging £22 for it (£18 on the website). Game refuse to lower that stupid price hike from £37 to £42, but they are selling it as part of a '2 for £50' Christmas deal.

That last line before the list made me laugh. Thank you for bringing joy to a dreary December day, Jimbo.

Lay off the drinks girl, or you are going to get assaulted in a place you'd rather not like.

ah, that regular british sight.

At least she found a bench! Most of the trashed slags that didn't go home with a randomer just crash on the floor.

Worst thing is, people over here respect drunks like her far more than gamers. I'm a wierdo because i don't get fucked beyond comprehension at the weekends.

I must admit, I make SexualChocolate right on that count. Never could understand the need to get fucked up every weekend. What little else must your life have going for it if you're counting down the days until you can turn it into another muddled blur?

My father-in-law-to-be was shocked that on Sunday afternoon I was "playing those bloody puter games" rather than watching a bunch of illiterate retards kicking a ball around, with a hangover.

"He's a young lad, he should be out having fun" - fun? like the kind of fun where you stand around a fucking sleezy club posing and binge drinking?

No thanks, I have far more fun at home with my mates and my "bloody computer games".

Being British, I started drinking early, think I'd burned out on "getting shitfaced" by about age 16. By the time i was old enough to go to pubs (18) I was totally bored of that shit.

I'm loving that my Mrs is pregnant (any day now!) because it's meant a complete lack of pressure to go out binge drinking, and a great excuse to not go.

Still, I'm a wierdo apparently.

That's not to say I don't like to drink now and then, but not every weekend, and not the point where I'm sleeping outside in the cold or crying into my handbag.

@ Sexualchocolate & Blue Odeyssey

That is how it was for me in the late nineties when, done with my teen years decided not to get shitfaced weekly. Its sad that a decade on despite video games greater popularity, getting completely twated out one's skull still holds more respect. Well amongst idiots that is, so feel happy about being seen as the odd one out.

@Sexualchocolate What they respect is blind hedonism, because apparently, it makes you interesting, as opposed to a paralytic, bellowing ingrate intent on pickling their liver. Sadly, a lot of people buy into this.

Of course, ain't noting wrong with a drink, but yeah, come on now...

Jim - you've got a handbag? I never had you down as a metrosexual. All power to you, man. It is 2009 afterall.

When I drink I get depressed, so I usually get my vice delivered via a rudeboy on a scooter on a cold, dark, London street.

Anyway, you can pull of a headshot when you're stoned (infact, moreso in my case), whereas you're lucky if you can even pick the right crosshair when you're pissed.

Once more a picture that symbolises the UK's downfall from a respected pillar of culture and knowledge, to what it is now.

What do you have against England Jim?

Well actually I can't blame you - England's gone to the dogs these days. And Australia's following suit as well, with gangs and knife fights and drunks and assaults.

Oh England. What has happened to you?

You think getting drunk and passing out is new to England?

Jim lived in England, but he was lucky enough to move. He can say what he likes, it is 90% shit hole and 10% crap beaches.

I WANNA MOVE TO AUSTRALIA!

I fancy a pint now.
And I was out for a party on the weekend, yes, but I find it's great for self esteem watching people making fucking morons of themselves. Ohh yes. And morons of themselves they did make.

AC2 is ridiculously mediocre. I can't believe it's been selling so well. I'm sure the third will also suck but that won't stop people from buying it either. (Hopes that Assassins Creed 3 actually does something right but has lost faith in the series.)
