UK Charts: Heavy Rain hits number one

Heavy Rain has become the first PS3 exclusive to reach number one in the UK charts since Killzone 2 over a year ago. David Cage’s “interactive movie” experience has debuted in the top slot, proving to be a considerable success despite the game’s high risk factor. While my thoughts on Heavy Rain‘s story are well known, I still think it’s pretty good as a game, and it’s cool to see a new IP that isn’t an FPS do so well. 

In other news, Aliens vs. Predator is still inexplicably riding high at number two, Just Dance keeps its hooks into the mainstream idiots at numbers three, and the rest of the chart is full of your usual suspects. Also, I have no frigging idea how James Cameron Presents James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game By James Cameron is still charting.
