Sniper Elite V2

This Week's UK PS3 Top 20 Charts
Written Monday, May 14, 2012 By Lee Bradley

Sniper Elite V2 has lined up its shot, held its breath and slotted a bullet straight through the testicles of its competitors. The World War II-set shooter remains in the number one spot for the second week running.

But that's not the real news. The real news is that Starhawk is about as popular as Joey Barton at Man Utd's end of season party. Despite being the only PS3 release in the world last week, despite being a first-party exclusive and despite being the follow-up to a popular multiplayer shooter, it could only manage fifth spot in the charts. Massively disappointing.

Elsewhere, there's very little movement, with games merely shuffling around a spot or two. Next week brings Max Payne 3 though, so Sniper Elite V2 should prepare to make way. And Starhawk? Let's hope it picks up a bit of momentum.

@2 FIFA 12 has been out for 8 months (since Sept 2011). Hardly a full year.

People will still be buying it because they wait for a price drop. A team and player update is hardly worth £40.

I agree but fifa cod and a few others very rarely drop,their still quite expensive and 8 months isnt that far off a year sorry for my wild and crazy exaggeration and especially in the game world 8 months, hell an assassins creed comes out every 8 months its a long time, thats all

Sniper elite? Really? Is that a good game because I haven't heard anything about it. I didn't even know it existed...

@TheEndOfWhyOU Really. It's not the prettiest game and it doesn't have competitive multiplayer but I think it's great, no other game can you shoot an enemy in the balls and actually watch them explode in slo-mo. The coop is the business!

I will give starhawk a try eventually but was scared off by the beta. Every match was a draw with no advantages. There was no teamwork or organization.

I wasn't trolling... I was just asking if it was a good buy. Just because you haven't heard anything about a game doesn't mean it's not good...

@5 Sniper Elite is supposed to be a good game, yes graphically not as good as COD or Battlefield, but playability plus looks like an easy platinum for the collection, and its a game that the publishers dont exagerate the price, like COD, FIFA, etc

I still can't figure out how on Earth a fuckin golf game can be on the same level as Batman, Mass Effect, or Uncharted... Really Britain? Do you feel like royalty playing this games or what?

Might have to pick up Sniper Elite if its doing so well. Sad to see Starhawk only as #5. Honestly, I was incredibly surprised when I turned on my PS3 on launch day only to see 3 friends out 32 online playing it. I had more friends playing Resistance 3 at launch. :|
