Last week’s entry Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days managed to take the spot despite being little more than a mediocre title and, worse still, Mafia II has achieved the same thing. Top of the charts for both the XBox 360 and the PS3, Mafia II proves that if you’ve got an average game and you want to get attention then you wait until there’s a lull in the releases. Last...

Anybody that’s owned a cat will tell you that training it anything it doesn’t want to learn is virtually impossible. Sure, it’ll soon learn that food is in the cupboard and that breakfast time is always ten minutes before you wake up. They’re also quite adapt at learning that scratching will stop you from stroking their bellies and hissing will...

The original Kane & Lynch game gave plenty to write home about – assuming nothing had happened in your life and you instead wanted to write a description of possibly one of the most overrated and unplayable games to hit the next-gen consoles. OK, so there were far worse games in many respects but Kane & Lynch managed to take the crown largely because it was...

They couldn’t be much more polar in their game play and content, but Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days has overtaken Toy Story 3 to hit the top spot for all platforms in its debut week. The game is number 1 for both the XBox 360 and the PS3 while Super Mario Galaxy 2 remains top for the Nintendo Wii. Last week’s new entry Madden 11 has slipped while the Nintendo’s...

There’s been a little more change this week in the gaming charts and while Toy Story 3 still heads up the all platform chart there’s a new entry for Madden 11 that’s made the top 5 for the PS3 and XBox 360. Things have been pretty stagnant in the charts for the last few weeks with just the occasional swap and change and while there’s hardly a plethora...

The gaming charts are out again and Toy Story 3 has taken the top spot from last week’s winner Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty for the all platform title. A bit of a reasonable game and a lot of stellar branding is all it takes to hit the top top it seems. Modern Warfare 2 is back at the top on the PS3 while the XBox 360 chart is still headed by Red Dead Redemption...

It’s quite incredible (well, not really, but it works well as an opening gambit) that as soon as one of the big manufacturers makes an announcement it turns that their main rivals were ready to make a very similar one. In the case of games consoles it’s almost as though all three big manufacturers ready an announcement and then they have a stand-off until one...

The latest gaming charts show that the world, or at least console gamers from the UK, still loves a cowboy as Red Dead Redemption sits atop the table for the XBox 360 and the PS3 and is also the 3rd most popular title on all platforms. Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty from Blizzard takes the top spot on all platforms while Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the most popular Nintendo...

The new XBox 360 slim hits UK shelves tomorrow having been available in the US for quite a while now. Microsoft is offering something of an upgraded package for current XBox owners with the deafening roar of the old 360 reduced to ltitle more than a whisper and if you’ve ever played the old model then you’ll know that every game is accompanied by an incredible...
