UK Charts: Portal Kombat reigns supreme photo

Portal 2 and Mortal Kombat are still sitting pretty atop the UK Charts, and if you ask most gamers, they deserve it!

Not much change from last week. Operation Flashpoint: Red River still climbs the charts, Homefront is enjoying yet more time in the top ten, while Crysis 2 finally slips just out of its reach. Overall, the UK Charts have featured a lot more decent games lately, so that's nice. 

Also, you'll notice how Michael Jackson: The Experience is sandwiched directly between Pokemon Black and Pokemon White. There's an irony there that I'll let you figure our for yourselves.

Red River is far too shit even for 4th place.

The irony is that Michael Jackson wrote a song called Black and White? I don't get it? How is this irony? I'm assuming this is a setup for another lame Michael Jackson race joke? That's not irony. Jim, stop being silly.

Really glad Mortal Kombat is selling well. Portal 2 was a given considering they've been marketing the shit out of it but I was edgy about MK and the constant talk of it being irrelevant. Nice to see that talk has been disproven. MK holds a special place in my heart, happy to see it return back to form.

I was looking forward to Red River but from the sounds of it it's buggy as hell.

No Socom still then. See what happens when you put an extra £5 onto the price of a game?!

I'm gonna buy it, but until it's £40.

A sexy young Radmonkey from Codies is sending me a copy of Red River, I'm really looking forward to it.

From the sound of it, it's like The Old, almost too hardcore Flashpoint games but a little less hardcore.

I'm pretty confident I'll enjoy it.

Xzyliac:

I chose to leave it up to the individual. You could either argue that the charts show it really does matter if you're Black or White (since Black has been the most consistently popular version) or you could go the "lame race joke" route.

I am all about freedom of choice.

I'm really injoying Portal Kombat myself! Why is Black Ops still selling like this, hasnt everyone bought it who wanted it?

@Sterling
I'm gonna go with the fact that they're both marketed towards kids and Michael Jackson is sandwiched between them.

The only irony here is that Jim's employed as a writer and has no idea what the word "irony" means.

Black Ops still in the top 5? I have no hope for gamers....
Crysis 2 is a much better game than Black Ops, singleplayer and multiplayer. I am sickened.

Okay, I understood the first two weeks, but why is Homefront still selling so well? Clearly people should know it isn't very good at this point.
