LEGO Batman held off by FIFA News

14 October, 2008

FIFA 09 has reached top spot in the the UK All-Formats Top 40 chart for a second week, holding off newcomer LEGO Batman in the process.

Even so, the Traveller's Tales title was Warner's biggest launch so far, and ended up at two, while LEGO Indiana Jones and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga are also still in the chart.

The rest of the top flight was fairly familiar: Wii Fit at three, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed at four and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway at five.

Mario Kart Wii kept chugging away at six, followed by Wii Play at seven and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 at eight.

Family Trainer leapt up from 20 to take nine, and Big Beach Sports rounded off the chart at 10.

There were no other new entries of note this week.

There were a couple of other movers and shakers though, with Grand Theft Auto IV advancing from 25 to 14, counterbalanced by Pure's descent from nine to 23, while Mercenaries 2 sagged from 16 to 28.

Slipping off the bottom this week were Warhammer Online, Wario Land: The Shake Dimension, and de Blob. De shame.

FIFA 09 is a terrific game... for once it deserves the top spot.

Worst. Tagline. Ever.

But well done FIFA, thoroughly deserved.

FIFA is a great update for once. But a lot of people seemed to have missed NBA Live 09, which again is a really good update over 08. For once EA seemed to have listened to criticism on both fronts.

Didn't expect NBA to be in the top 40 in the UK, but hope it sells reasonably well here.

Slipping off the bottom this week were Wario Land: The Shake Dimension, and de Blob.

One more nail in the coffin for proper games on the Wii. Even the distinctly average ones can't compete with the cavalcade of waggle-fest dross.

How many units must Wii Fit and Mario Kart shift each week to be permanently fixed in the top 10??
