Are gamers a conservative lot? Or are games publishers turning us into conservative purchasers? Or, is the fact that the hugely over-rated ("Is it art?", "Who cares") tedium that is El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron hasn't made chart impact, but flawed yet entertaining Dead Island retains the top spot in the charts a good thing?
Basically, the UK UKIE Gfk Chart-Track All Formats Top 10 looks like:
{} - 1 - Dead Island - Koch Media
{} - 2 - Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - THQ
{} - 3 - Resistance 3 - Sony
{} - 4 - Driver: San Francisco - Ubisoft
{} - 5 - Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Square Enix
{} - 6 - Zumba Fitness - 505 Games
{} - 7 - LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean - Disney
{} - 8 - Rugby World Cup 2011 - 505 Games
{} - 9 - LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 - Warner
{} - 10 - Cars 2: The Video Game - Disney
Yes, not much change anywhere. So, we can confidently put all our savings on Gears of War 3 being #1 next week.
