UK charts: UFC is the undisputed champ
inFamous at five, Boom Blox nowhere.
UFC 2009: Undisputed remains champion of the UK chart for the week ending 30th May, despite plenty of big-name new entries.
The highest of those is Guitar Hero: Metallica at four, as non-movers Pokémon Platinum at two and EA Sports Active at three block its path.
PS3 exclusive inFamous enters at five and Virtua Tennis 2009 appears at eight. The dismal Terminator Salvation misses the top flight to debut at 11, and the DS release of movie tie-in Night at the Museum 2 pushes the game to 35.
But there's no sign of the excellent Boom Blox: Bash Party, which eventually turns up at 18 in the Wii-specific top 40. Punch-Out!! fairs no better this week, incidentally, remaining at seven in the Wii top 40.
Dropping off the bottom this week are Rhythm Paradise, Battlestations: Pacific and Killzone 2. They may appear again, whereas the dreadful Damnation may - justifiably - not be so lucky.

Boom Blox has had no promotion. I'm reticent to pick it up anyway as I forked out full-whack for the first one and have barely played it.

In your opinion. Anyway think the game is a solid 8 and a a new ip thats a good start. Fun game only thing annoying is the pesky reapers on the roof tops lol

@spliffhead, the chart positions in places like HMV and Game are paid for by the publishers.

I love the moral aspect of the game, choosing between being good or evil (I can't help being good - I've already got the Goodie Goodie trophy and reached Hero ranking), and the story is great stuff so far too, it definitely helps to have a decent narrative to drive you through these kinds of games (I'm looking at you, Crackdown!!!). If I have one niggle it's that the Reapers can be bloody annoying at times until you clear an area but other than that it's a solid 8/10 for me. Hopefully we'll see a more polished sequel in the future.

You will regret those ill spent seconds when you are on your death bed. Though with a 15 year old pun for a username, perhaps not.

Well I can't speak for HMV but I have heard of other retailers using their "charts" as marketing tools that don't really represent sales.
