It's depressing that I look for games like Tekken5 and GoW, not to see how well they've done but in the hope that they haven't fallen too quickly. Thankfully they both seem to be holding on quite well, only dropping a few places each.

But that top 5 is just pathetic. And to think in the last few weeks the UK charts had stopped looking THAT bad, but I should have known that wouldn't last.
 
2 MADAGASCAR ACTIVISION (It was #1!)
3 FANTASTIC 4 ACTIVISION
5 CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY TAKE 2

What's the deal, UK? Do people just buy any movie related game?

Looking at the games, it's probably parents buying it for the kiddies, given that it's 3 licensed games, from 3 kiddie movies. The schools being out for the summer probably factors into it as well.

Hopefully once the schools go back and the decent games start flowing again, the nation can regain some dignity.
 
The UK gaming industry is in such a mess at the moment. I'm praying the next generation brings a revolution. ;)

on that note though, i'll be purchasing Brian Lara. I fell in love with the PSX versin. :D

international cricket? LOL, yeah right!

:lol

What happened to that Compton Cricket team made up from gang members? And the Lara Cricket game on top of the charts isn't surprising with The Ashes (England vs Australia - big rivalry) taking place.

bah why are people buying cm5 buy fm2005 u fools

I'm not sure about overall sales, but FM2005 did very well when it first came out. I'm hoping that Cm5 is where it is because it came out much more recently and on Xbox and PS2 as well as PC.

Didn't I hear there was going to be a PSP version of FM2005 somewhere?
 
Hey, I haven't lived in britain since 91. Are our cricketers still the fattest, laziest "athletes" since Jockey Wilson? Or have they actually decided that young, fit athletes with skill are better than old farts with club membership?
 
The new Brian Lara Cricket game is actually good too - Cricket 2005 is absolute trash. EA need to find a new developer for that series, and quickly.
