Transformers: Dark of the Moon

This Week's UK PS3Top 20 Charts
Written Monday, July 18, 2011 By Richard Walker

This week the unthinkable has happened, with a stinky movie tie-in making it to the number one spot, knocking the infinitely superior DiRT 3 into third place as inFamous 2 hold fast in second, paving the way for Call of Duty: Black Ops to return to the upper regions of the charts, shooting its way into fourth position.

Big winners this week include Dungeon Siege III, which leaps eleven places, and both F1 2010 and Gran Turismo 5, which both re-enter the top 20. Losers meanwhile, include Duke Nukem Forever, which makes its way out of the top 20, Virtua Tennis 4, which sinks into 13th after being 5th last week and shockingly, Portal 2, which also slips out of the top 20 yet again. Harry Potter's latest is this week's new entry, in at number 8 too.

And that's about all there is to say about the top 20 this week. Check it out:

Why are so many people still buying COD? I mean, seriously, what is wrong with gamers nowadays?!

Ugh, and Transformers; Herpderp explosion movie, a version inferior to WFC, claims the top spot. inFAMOUS 2 deserves it more. Good to see L.A. Noire and Killzone 3 still hanging in there. Shame about Duke though; even though the game is rather mediocre, a legend like that deserves a bit more.

Call of duty really does need to die a slow and painful death soon.

@1 Have you actually played Duke, it sucks!

p.s. CoD is generally just better on XBOX... NOT TROLLING ON PS3, just saying...

@3 As a Duke fan, DNF is awesome, but I can see why the CoD generation of gamers didn't like it.

And yes, CoD is better on the 360 this time around, and the PS3 version was a nasty port. CoD still sucks though.

infamous 2 is awesome, but duke nukem is just horrible,and transformers well i don't know how he is, but probably sucks,c'mon stop bitching about cod being up there in every this week's uk top 20 charts i hear somebody bitching about this game, but i was a fanboy of cod but not anymore i hate cod sometimes but bo was not as good as mw2 and i hope that mw3 will be better.
(i am not defending cod in anyway but i am sick of these comments)
la noire it's good too see him up there although i have never ever played him, but rockstar c'mon finish gta 5 i am getting crazy waiting for a new story. also nice too see dirt 3 up there and gt 5 but wow the lego games are still famous,they are always with something new and fresh.

COD, GT5, LBP2 and F1 are all in the Game sale iirc. And if they are on sale there, usually hmv follow suit. So it's not really surprising they all did well really, if people can pick up a bargain then that's awesome.

Infamous 2 is boring and should've been the one that dropped instead of DNF. I love DNF. Good though that L.A. Noire is still high up and that F.E.A.R. 3, Red Faction: Armageddon, Killzone 3, Motorstorm, Mortal Kombat and Dungeon Siege III are still on the list. I don't give a flip abput the rest.

@10 I hate COD but i will buy it anyway. I dont give a shit about MP, i only buy for SP and SPEC OPS. I just wont say that if you buy COD your an idiot. They may think same about Battlefield players (which i never in my entire life will understand, as these game are extreme FTW games). If they want to play let them. I dont say its a good game, but they may like it.

I just dont believe that it's a coincidence that half of you guys comments sound exactly the same. What ever happened to originality, don't people have their own opinion on things anymore. I'm a grown ass man but I happen to like COD so do my dozens of friends who all happen to be grown as well. I just dont understand why people sound so upset all the time for no reason. If you dont like a game dont play it. Dont tell us how stupid it is and how dumb we are for liking a game. Grow up.

I think the reason why Black Ops is selling some much right around the corner from MW3, is Treyarch's Zombies. With Shangri-La now out on Xbox then PS3 & PC next week, & I can bet there will be more maps out in the near future. I know a few people that don't really care for Black Ops but love the Zombies Mode, & only got Black Ops for the Zombies.

I have no problems with people hating on Call of Duty, I do have a problem with people however that insult the players of Call of Duty in that very message.
I'm quite tired with the ongoing flame wars all over the internet, so why don't you waste your time on playing actual video games rather than pasting a hate message every other day in every new article involving a game you hate.

Big rant time.

Although most movie tie-in games are pretty mediocre or even rubbish, there are some exceptions to the rule, the N64's 007 Goldeneye for instance. Perhaps Transformers is a good game? I don't know.

Also, I'm fed up of reading all these predictable 'at least it's not as bad as Duke Nukem' comments. Duke Nukem Forever was an alright game, a 6 out of 10. It was certainly not awful, but not amazing either. Stop exaggerating and believing everything you read from reviews, especially those that are blatantly biased. For example IGN (can't spell ignorant without ign) downrated DNF basically because it wasn't a Call of Duty clone. Fail.

Oh, and Call of Duty. The series is good, if a bit stale. (also the multiplayer has a miriad of broken fucked up gameplay issues). The problem is you have both extremes of the scale posting on the internet, the ignorant CoD fanboys who think it's the best thing in the world, and the snobby hipster-gamer types who hate on it because it's popular and mainstream.

TL;DR people are stupid.

I rated DNF a 9/10. Probably the most fun I've had all year, and so far I've had 16 day 1 purchases this year!
