The latest sales charts in from the UK have some interesting stories to tell. Call of Duty 5 is proving that the public doesn't really care who is developing the game and whether or not it is based in World War 2 again. The game appeals to many people and is accessible enough that a lot of consumers are all too happy to pick it up and give it a go. In the same vein, I am not too happy about the fact the Need for Speed: Undercover is sitting in second place. The fact that the game is still getting good sales is only going to let EA know more than ever that they can take huge shortcuts and make a really low quality game and still get away with massive sales due to a recognisable brand. What is really interesting is that Resistance 2, the supposedly almighty PS3 exclusive is only sitting at number 10. Why is that? Well, I was actually very interested to find out that Resistance 2 had only been on sale for a day when the chart was released, which means that the day one sales were probably looking pretty strong. It seems that the UK is also experiencing distribution issues so that may factor into the charts as well. It is interesting to see that so many other recent popular titles are not in the top 10 although it was interesting to see that even though it is so far down the line, Mario Kart Wii is sitting at a very respectable 4th place.

Oh yeah! Another Uncharted is coming. Uncharted really is living up to it's name with this new trailer that shows our hero Nathan Drake, in surroundings significantly different to those seen in the first game. The first Uncharted title was hugely successful and is arguably one of the best games to own on the Playstation 3 so I can't see any PS3 fans not liking what they see. GameInformer gives information saying that the new title has been named Uncharted: Among Thieves and " revolves around the 13th century explorer Marco Polo and his voyages." Something else that is interesting although I can see it having mixed reactions is that the game is now going to have a few different gameplay elements, namely " free climbing mechanic and stealth gameplay." What do you guys think? Good, bad?

You know those moments in life when you suddenly realise everyone else knows somwthing you don’t? Like when you’re told to go ask little Suzy out even though everyone (but you) knows that little Suzy is going out with Billy Bob and doesn’t like you? No? Well… lets get back to gaming now shall we. This just in,  2 weeks …

You knew it couldn’t last forever and it looks like we have reached the end of the road here. Criterion has so far been absolutely fantastic in regards to giving away free DLC for Burnout Paradise but they do have salaries to pay and would obviously like to recoup some of their development costs.

It has long been said that Nintendo were making a profit on each console sold but until now we didn’t really have an amount to go with that sentiment. I personally thought that Nintendo were getting about $50 per console but that wasn’t taking into consideration operating and distribution costs, now David Gibson of Macquarie Securities has put all the …

The ex major shareholder of Midway games, Summer Redstone, has sold his 87% share of Midway games for a mere $100 000. Now while $100 000 is more money than I will most probably ever have in my bank account it is a rock bottom price for such a well respected game developer. So how is it that we missed …

An un-named colleague (Nick) sent a tip over this morning about how Call of Duty 5 on the 360 is outselling the PS3 version by nearly 3:1. Apparently he is not impressed that I kept on sending him the flamebait tips and wanted to get some revenge. However I have been burnt enough recently so I am not going to …

Yes I know my track record for backing little known games is not the best… okay it’s possibly the worst but that isn’t going to get me down. I have found a new underdog to back and I an betting that my losing streak is going to turn on this one. Damnation is being described as a vertical FPS which …
