'The only new release to hit the Top 40 this week is Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom from Microsoft,'

I am sure Microsoft published this game they did not make it.

Also the game is absolutly crap beyond belief.

DMC4 is gonna hit no.1 I hope that game is stunning!

Disney didn't make Turok, Activision didn't make COD4 and Eidos didn't make Conflict. They're all publishers. Does stop the games being "from" those companies.

Exactly, config. Exactly. That's what happens when SS4 tries to use his/hers/its brain: nonsense, s**te and bile spew out. Tries to be smug but ends up with an egg-covered face. Just a tit, really.

Burnout Paradise is a worthy number one. I was dubious at first but I am hooked now. The EyeToy features are strangely fun (when people bother with them, and I don't blame them for not because it freaked me out the first time I saw my "owned" face); the free-roaming nature of the game actually works quite well when you get used to it; the events are fun once you get used to the roads; and the seamless online play is SO good after the nightmares of the Call of Duty 4 crap server & lobby issues. The only thing I miss is the B3-style "takedown" where you could steer through the air to take out multiple vehicles (which, I thought, they broke after that one in the less-good Burnout: Revenge").

However, as it is an EA game I would not be surprised if they were saving features like that for forthcoming sequels... perhaps we will see, eventually, something like "Burnout Paradise: Takedown", then "Burnout Paradise: Revenge" followed by "Burnout Paradise: Dominator" and perhaps even "Burnout Paradise: Dominator Revenge Takedown Legends 2010 Anniversary Edition 2" for all major consoles in the future (PS3, Wii, PSP2, DS).

As for next week's chart, anyone buying Turok or Conflict who does not have Call of Duty 4 would be mental- they are total arse next to the beautiful behemoth that is CoD4. And SuperSaiyan, I'd steer clear of Devil May Cry 4. It is a hard game, for real men and real gamers, and it will just make you sob fanbaby tears into your wank-stained fists.
