This Week's UK X360 Top 20 Charts

23
Lee Bradley

FIFA Street has charged straight to the number one spot this week, displacing sci-fi epic Mass Effect 3. That means that a whopping four of the top five games this week come from EA. Only Forza Motorsport 4 could squeeze its way to fourth, in between SSX and FIFA 12.

Meanwhile, the start of the F1 season has lead to a resurgence for Codemasters and F1 2011. The accomplished Formula One sim roared from 23rd to 13th place. Let's not forget, the sequel was announced last week too. Similarly resurgent was Gears of War 3. The thick-necked shooter rocketed up from 28th to take 16th place in the charts.

At the bottom of the chart it's heartening to see Rayman Origins hanging on in there. The gorgeous Ubisoft platformer - which picked up Best Artistic Achievement at last week's BAFTA awards - rounds out this week's chart in 20th place.

  • i am shock mass effect 3 did not last that long at the top
  • @1 Why? The better it is the more sales it gets in its first week. Its follow up week noone wants it as they already have it. Don't be in shock. Enjoyed fifa street for the first 5 hours now im getting a bit bored. Lack of modes, lack of bonus for playing well (passing etc) and the music is awful. Though it is better then every fifa street to date.
  • Street Fighter X Tekken dropped pretty quick, innit? From 3rd to 9th after a week in the charts.
  • only got round to recently playing rayman origins at the missus' as i recommended it to her. wouldnt normally be a game i would look at picking up (she is more of the platform type gamer than me) but i gotta admit i love it.
  • No surprise there football is a big passion over here for most people. Myself included. England to win the Euros!!
  • @5 wishfull thinking matty but it would be nice, have we even sorted the managers job out yet? ot great diversity in the charts these days,something for everyone.
  • @5 republic of ireland For the WIN, England don't deserve it cause they get a free pass every time in any competition.Personally I think they have been fixing the competitions for years.
  • @7 Considering we didnt qualify for the last Euros. Thats bar none, the stupidest comment today.
  • Sounds like sour grapes #7. I'm not English so don't think I'm sticking up for them. I'm Welsh and just accept the fact my country won't win any football tournament in my lifetime. The Rugby Grandslam will have to do. But good to see Rayman doing so well this long after release. Great game. Also Dead Island in there still. Loved that game, and glad I lent it to try and get some co op achievements.
  • @7 If England were to fix stuff wouldn't we fix it so that we won instead of being mediocre ??
  • @3 Well that's what you get when the online play is unplayable and the developer/publisher is greedy and disrespectful towards their fans. So Mass Effect 3 will follow soon.
  • Most likely because even FIFA street has a better ending than mass effect 3
  • Don't really understand how this could over take mass effect 3, but hey at least I know mass effect 3 is a better game. No matter what all these trolls say the ending was fantastic for me.
  • I am shocked to see COD:WF3 is still in top 10 considering the amount of copies it has shifted since last year.
  • Hehehehe EA must be happy because their games top lots moment. Next week I am expect Resident Evil ORC will be top first while Ninja Gaiden 3 should somewhere top 5 charts that my guess. Cos i knew big numbers in world people fans of Resi Evil more then Ninja Gaiden so this why I guess Resi Evil ORC will make way top first next week. I cannot wait for Resi Evil ORC and Ninja Gaiden 3 this week :)
  • Not surprised ME is 2nd as I've heard Fifa Street is pretty good.
  • @3- Not surprised considering how Capcom screwed people with SF4 and MvC3. Plus people don't like to pay $60 for 2/3 of a game and $46 for the other 1/3.
  • @2 Not sure about that. "The better a game is the more it sells in the first week" --- I like CoD but MW3 was shit and sold a ton of games in the first week (record sales perhaps). OT: You Europeans LOVE Football, eh? (didn't say Soccer, I'm learning).. I knew that Fifa Street would sell good, but top spot ahead of ME3 really supprised me!
  • Wonder if the backlash on ME3's ending will hurt its sales? Great game apart for the last 10 minutes.
  • Neither myself or anyone on my Friends List have been playing this. I'm going to rent it at somepoint over the next few weeks.
  • Nice to see f1 2011 back up in the charts but i think its only there because shopto had it on sale :)
  • have a feeling fifa street will some how stay there for a while.
  • Fifa street is actually a really fun game, like it way better then any other sport game :D
