Last year, 2010, turned into a sensational 12 months for Activision as Call of Duty: Black Ops ended the year as the best-selling video game topping the coveted 2010 All Formats Chart, according to data released today by UKIE (compiled by GfK Chart-Track).

Call of Duty: Black Ops has continued to set new records since its release in November last year, grossing more than £113.8 million in its first week of sales, the biggest grossing week of all time for video games software. Ubisoft also had a strong year, with Just Dance, Just Dance 2 and Assassins Creed: Brotherhood all featuring in the year’s best-selling All Format chart, alongside two games from Nintendo.

FIFA 11 remained popular with UK gamers in 2010, finishing second in the All Formats Chart and achieving a top two place on the PS3 and Xbox 360, as well as finishing the year as the best selling game on the PSP. As well as reaching number 3 in the All-Formats chart, Just Dance was the best selling Wii game of 2010. The Number One seller of the Nintendo DS chart was Professor Layton and the Lost Future, replicating last year’s success for Professor Layton and the Lost Village.

Pc gaming seems pretty bland still. We need some more diversity to keep things interesting.
Assassin's Creed multiplayer is pretty fun for the odd session every now and then.

Got to agree with you there, PC gaming at the moment is pretty bland and certainly need an injection of fresh blood to spice things up a little.
