Thats a little better i guess , so many film related games...and they are almost always terrible !!

Played the Saints Row Demo thought it was GTA all over again which aint bad if your a GTA fan i guess

Roll on Friday for Dead Rising, Test Drive and Enchanted Arms

DJ_Moschops · 09-05-2006, 01:04 PM

The difference between the charts is murray's is the full price chart and does not have budget games included.

Shame I don't think Enchanted Arms will sell very well though.

The thread title fails to disappoint.

UniGamer · 09-05-2006, 03:44 PM

I'm not embarrassed, i'm pleased with the list. From that list you can't pigeon hole Brits like you would Japs and Americans (FPS & JRPGs). Huge variety in that list. Great, good & crap games.

Another thing i noticed is the kids titles. Kids are majorly into games over here.
As they age, their tastes will develop and they'll be more choosey with the titles they buy. At the moment their parents buy their games for them and pick safe movie tie ins.

I doubt it will either.

Im not sure if i will like it but i will give it a bash. Add Just Cause to those three and its a good month for the 360 in the uk

Escaflowne2001 · 09-05-2006, 04:05 PM

Yeah I think Dead Rising should get No.2 and Just Cause will hit No.1 as it's mutilplatform hopefully enchanted arms will get in the Top 15 if Over G Fighters did it shouldn't have to much problem.

murray · 09-05-2006, 04:09 PM

Over G Fighters makes it into my top 15....my top 15 worst games ever

Escaflowne2001 · 09-05-2006, 07:03 PM

I've been enjoying it so far it's a bastard to control it sorta reminds more of those old ACES games on the commodore64.
