No less than eight new games have hit the top 20 this week in the UK’s all-format videogames chart, with two new entries from Nintendo and a furious battle at the top between some of this year’s biggest titles.

It just goes to show how many units Modern Warfare 3 must of sold on launch week, because even though sales have declined by 87% it still holds onto the top spot for the second week running. However, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, released last week, has done extremely well to push Elder Scroll V: Skyrim out of second place down to third.

Saint’s Row The Third has slipped in at number 4, doing well to palm off EA's big release last week, Need For Speed: The Run, which drops in at number 11. Other new releases include The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword (Number 7) and Super Mario 3D Land (Number 9.)

MW3 continues to dominate

If you've got more than 25% of that list then you need to get out more/get a hobby? ;)

That said, I've got 3 of the top 5, missing out on the footie game and Skyrim. Oh the shame of it! :)
If that is the top 20, it's a no wonder I had been struggling to find decent games…..
Struggling? Skyrim, bf3 and maybe batman (its not out on pc yet, 25th is release date so maybe that explains its low position?).

Skyrim being an epic rpg and bf3 being the best FPS this year :P. Its funny as these charts are no real representative of how well a game is doing, especially on pc…. look at steam and laugh at the pitiful amount of MW3 players, 60,000 while skyrim has over 300,000 (was 600+ at one point iirc) and even css has 50k and cs1.6 has 59k, seriously how bad is that? games which are 6 + years old still have similar amount of players as a new POPULAR release :D.

Ok now time for uni work and skyrim…. or maybe just skyrim.
I loath single-player RPGs….so Skyrim won't even get a look at if someone gave it to me for free…

Batman isn't out yet…

BF3 is excellent…but is rather frustrating without mates about

AC:R > Played the first 2 enough to say “Been there done it”

Fifa 12 is still getting an occasional play…

I need my racing pod before I will play any of my driving games…

Most of that list makes me :puke:

How about posting something on the Hexus gaming forums - I'm in the same boat and when I asked around I got quite a few folks saying "come and join us"? Sometimes Hexus is just so good! :hexlub: Soon as I get the sound input on my PC sorted out, I'll be taking those generous folks up on their offers.

Funnily enough I have the same feeling about Batman games - tried the first one and wasn't impressed, seen the mechanics elsewhere. Other people rave about them, but it's just a big “meh” to me.

That said, I'm currently playing through Driver:SanFran, (and enjoying it), so what the heck do I know? ;)
