Wii Fit Plus finds itself on top of a busy UK chart this week, following positive reviews from the likes of us.
Dragon Age: Origins is the next new entry at five. BioWare's monster RPG has won the hearts of many gamers, but not quite enough to propel it above FIFA 10, Wii Sports Resort and Football Manager 2010, which it sits just behind.
SingStar: Take That, meanwhile, misses the top 10 completely, arriving at 16, but performs well for a band-related spin-off release. Sony may be disappointed with Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, however, which enters at 22.
There's rare disappointment for Activision, too, as Band Hero hits all the wrong notes and doesn't even make the top 40. The Wii version is highest on its platform-specific chart at 14. DJ Hero also spends a second week in the middle of the all-formats top 40, this time at 21. Oh well - Modern Warfare 2 will probably do alright.
Ubisoft's crowd-pleaser Rabbids Go Home also starts poorly, despite favourable reviews, only showing up at 13 on the Wii chart.
Elsewhere, Brutal Legend falls out of the top 40, as do Batman: Arkham Asylum, The Beatles: Rock Band and Colin McRae: DiRT 2.

Sports resort has been bundled with Wii Fit packs recently, which probably helped it up the charts a little bit.

It's really sad to see the new Ratchet & Clank game enter at 22. Depressing even. It's a really lovely, fun game that is the PS3's nearest equivalent to a Mario Galaxy game albeit with some amusing weapons and comedy violence which Mario would scorn at. Or maybe that's its problem? Whatever, it's a real feel-good game IMO; funny, colourful, constantly entertaining and it expands on the two previous PS3 games by adding more platforming and puzzles to the mix... it really deserves to do so much better.
Hopefully it'll be a sleeper hit that sells over a long period of time but releasing it the same week as Dragon Age: Origins and one week before CoD: Modern Warfare 2 perhaps wasn't the most sensible idea really... |

Poor Uncharted 2. What a great game.
You just can't beat the Wii! You can't! They've got this generation completely sewn up (sales-wise)... |

I'd recommend Ratchet and Clank to anyone. It's probably the best game in the series and some of the level design is genius. I love Mario Galaxy as much as anyone but i'd probably say R&C is overall a better game. Everyone should play it!

Ratchett and Clank has probably been met with total apathy to tell the truth.
I downloaded that quest For Booty and it was a pretty lacklustre retread, even if it was an expansion. I enjoyed Tools Of Destruction but I have no interest in spending all that money to get the same game again with a different name |

I would have thought dragon age would have got more downloads on the pc than normal, considering the price of the game at most retailers was equal/close to the digital price for once... (I downloaded for that reason), and they're missed out of the chart.
And poor old ratchet and clank. The closest thing to a pixar cartoon we've got on consoles, with good cross-generational appeal, great mechanics, graphics etc. consigned to a machine with a more mature (I mean older on average) user group than the 360 and being roundly ignored because of that. Shame. Almost be worth a Wii port, if you could keep the level of polish on there. They're dying for some decent 3rd party games :-) |

About the 6/10 DA review on the 360 it's funny as if you actally read it it's got nothing to do with the game as a whole it's all to do with the fact 'it's not as good as the pc version' but as ppl skip the reviews thems and just look at the scores they never see it's full picture.
Go look at the pc review thats it's true score, thats why it's at 5. |

i bought 2 copies of dragon age, one from game for myself and another as a gift from steam.
Same here, loving every minute of it so far (as is my wife). |

Stuff like WiiFit shouldn't be counted on here, it's not a game. If Jamie Oliver's Fat Tongue Cookbook on the DS was a huge success, would that also be here on the games chart, despite not being a proper game?
Same thing a decade ago with Norton Antivirus always being in the Top 5. |
