Top 10 UK PC games chart

Top 10 UK PC games chart

Creative Assembly's newly released Empire: Total War is currently ruling the Steam chart.

Once again, this week's retail chart has shown that the PC gaming community is one of the few areas in which Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 franchise can occasionally trounce football in terms of popularityl. Dawn of War II is still holding onto its number 1 spot for the second week running, while Football Manager 2009 is clinging on to its number 2 position. Meanwhile, there's a new entry from Tom Clancy's EndWar at number 9, and Grand Theft Auto IV has climbed a couple of places from number 9 to number 7. You can see the retail top 10 for the week ending 28 February below:

There's another new entry further down the chart in the form of 505 Games' new World War II -based strategy game, Men of War, which has entered the chart at number 16. This week also saw Spore drop out of the top 10 to number 11, while Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning has re-entered the chart at number 19. You can see the retail top 20 for the week ending 28 February below:

After being knocked into second place by Dawn of War III last week, Valve's Left 4 Dead has now tumbled further to number 4 on the Steam chart this week. The new king of Valve's Steam service is the newly released Empire Total War, with the Special Forces Edition taking second place. Meanwhile, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, which Steam is currently selling for £13.99, has re-entered the chart at number 8 and there's a new entry from Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X at number 10.

I'm still suprised CS: Source is still selling as a stand alone product. Surely everyone on Steam has it by now?

End of first sentence - 'popularityl' - omit l.

Number 9 - 'Tom Clayncy's: EndWar' - omit y.

Sentence after top 20 is a bit of a revelation as it mentions 'Dawn of War III' - where can haz pls?

I recently played the demo of HAWX and it seems pretty cool - a bit like Air Combat with an extra iota of strategy added.

Article remains uncorrected. Sack someone, that'll get them spellchecking furiously.

Go into Microsoft Word Kenco......you'll see that your spellchecking needs spell checking. Actually, if you switch to Firefox, it'll spell check for you while you type.

So, your comments about spell checking other people's spellchecking are, in fact, in dire need of spell checking to know the difference between spellchecking and proper spell checking.

That, dear friends, ends today's lesson in "irony". Have a nice day!

So was I. I hadn't played it before but I do like it more than 2k3/4: it feels a lot more like the original, though I'm not a fan of the art direction. Still can't beat that 1999 feeling, but its close enough. I'll be sticking to classic for LAN parties though.
