This Week's UK X360 Top 20 Charts

26
Richard Walker

Despite peoples' misgivings about dragging the Call of Juarez series kicking and screaming into a modern day setting, the third instalment, Call of Juarez: The Cartel, set amid drug wars in Los Angeles, has shot straight to the top of the charts in its first week, which just goes to show you can't keep a good cowboy down.

The same goes for insect killers too it seems, as Earth Defence Force: Insect Armageddon debuts at number 3 in the charts this week, offering the perfect excuse to go and exterminate some giant ants and destroy a city while you're at it.

Other charts highlights this week include big moves for Dungeon Siege III, Harry Potter and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12, which all enjoy a nice ride up the charts, while the departure of both FEAR 3 and Mortal Kombat from the top 20 mark a low week for Warner Bros. Interactive. Meanwhile, Duke Nukem cheats death at the bottom of the charts, while Halo: Reach makes a top 20 comeback and LA Noire starts to slip into the bottom half for the first time since its launch.

  • The cartel is dirt cheap already, picked it up for $45. That would help it on its way to number one, because god knows the gameplay and graphics havnt.
  • Nice to see that Mortal Kombat already is out.. Also nice to see that Red Faction is still up there.. great game! :D
  • YES EDF made it into the top 5! EDF! EDF!
  • why is black ops still in the charts it's a load if rubbish
  • @1 Dont think so : This Week's UK X360 Top 20 Charts. Key word in there, begins with U.
  • I can hardly believe that EDF made it to number 3! That is really good news. It seems that EDF 2017 didn't sell exceptionally well, so this is quite a result for D3. It is always great to see "under-dog" games like this doing well. Really fun game too! EDF! EDF! :)
  • Not sutprised to see Dungeon Siege III up there; the special/limited edition was only £11 in the game sale. Considering the game's only been out weeks, that's pretty damn cheap.
  • @5: Do people not have there own opinions anymore? Im having a blast with the Cartel, i feel sorry for people who rely on reviews to tell them what games there gonna like...
  • i'm an idiot for buying call of juarez
  • @5 People don't really give a rats a$$ about reviews anymore.
  • Get youreselves down blockies, give it a rent, if you like go buy it. SIMPLES ;)
  • @ All Thumb my other comment down all you want but that doesn't change my opinion on ALL reviewers in the gaming industry. It seem like all review are bias opinions. inless you pay for a good review your either underrated or overrated by most gaming "professionals" (and i use that term losly)
  • I was going to be COJ but as I don't get paid this friday I decided to rent it instead....and boy am I glad I did. It's a terrible game! I look forward to watching it dive bomb out of the top 20 over the next few weeks.
  • Call of juarez to be this years ghost sniper
  • @6 USA begins with a U...
  • Imagine a Call of Juarez Western game on the Dead Island engine. Now think of The Cartel. WHY TECHLAND, WHY?
  • Why does x360a never talk about the US charts?
  • @19 Because this is a European site, and everyone in the world hates the US?
  • Now now zombie not everyone hates us just mostly everyone.
  • O snap! Duke climbed up a bit!
  • I know it won't make much sense, but I'd wish you also had US top 20 chart, so we could compare, because you English sure pick weird times and games...
  • @20 Really? Could you prove that somehow? Get everybody in the entire world to agree with you? I am very interested to hear how you know that
  • @24 no its kinda true...lot of ppl in Europe dnt really like us. ive asked a few of my friends a this question a few weeks ago and they live in France and England
  • @24 It is kind of true. Whenever I go to Europe and people ask where I am from and I say I am Canadian they are always say good that your not American. Even though I am also American as well:).
