• LittleBigPlanet 2 claims all-formats chart crown

  Acclaimed PlayStation 3 platform game LittleBigPlanet 2 has shot straight to the top of the all-formats sales chart this week.
  
  There was nothing little about the success of Media Molecule's latest sandbox creation game, which has matched the first-week sales of its hit predecessor and dethroned the mighty Call of Duty: Black Ops from first place, according to GfK-ChartTrack data.
  
  LittleBigPlanet 2 allows players to put together their own levels and even their own games using a wide array of tools, with the sequel encompassing more genres than ever, as well as cutscenes and AI characters.
  
  The sequel, which stars the lovable and customisable cloth-based hero Sackboy, has also outdone its predecessor by claiming the top spot, a feat the first game never managed.
  
  Serial record-breaker Call of Duty: Black Ops had to settle for second place this week, while Just Dance 2 kept on boogying along at number three.
  
  Next week will see the debut of one of 2011's first blockbuster hopefuls in Dead Space 2, which will be delivering sci-fi horror chills to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC owners.

• FIFA 11 holds on to top spot in charts

  FIFA 11 has remained top of the league in terms of UK gaming sales in the first week of 2011.
  
  EA Sports' smash-hit football simulation has once again held off the competition to spend another week atop the official GfK-ChartTrack all-formats ranking, making it four weeks in total at number one since its debut.
  
  FIFA 11 has proven to be one of the UK's most consistent sellers since it achieved the biggest first-week sales figures for the franchise to date back in October 2010, as well as one of the most successful British gaming launches ever.
  
  Coming in behind the popular title was Wii music sequel Just Dance 2, which moved up to its highest chart ranking yet at number two.
  
  It meant that record-breaking shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops slipped out of the top two for the first time and had to settle for third place instead.
  
  This week will see the gaming release schedule spring back into life after the Christmas break, with DC Universe Online leading the first wave of big-name titles to hit stores in 2011.

• Christmas Round-Up - 24th December 2010

  Was there ever any doubt that Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty: Black Ops would be this year's Christmas number one? Especially considering it's the sequel to last years Xmas best seller, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2...

  Well actually, for a few weeks, there was - because this year has seen the release of some real gaming crackers! Want to know which ones are the stars this Christmas? Here's the full top 10 - and not a turkey in sight...

   

  1. Call of Duty: Black Ops is an awe-inspiring package, featuring a single-player campaign packed with stunning set-pieces at every new corner. The intriguing plot masterfully strings together the globe trotting missions, each of which will blow you away. As if that wasn't enough it also features a refined multiplayer with unbeatable value.

   

  2. FIFA 11 is the definitive football video game experience. Just when we thought EA couldn't improve on FIFA 10 they introduce new nuanced animations and intricate touches of realism to a game that is already a visual marvel. The mechanics in FIFA 11 have received small tweaks that go a long way in providing added depth to the game, there are countless ways to score a goal and thanks to the introduction of playable goalkeepers, just as many ways to save a few.

   

  3. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit is a blisteringlyfast, endlessly fun, finely polished arcade racing game with no equal. Hot Pursuit has a racing model that feels weighty but still loose enough to provide that unique arcade feel. However, where it truly shines is in its online component. The Need for Speed Autolog is a fresh and effective take on online community that keeps racers coming back; hoping beat a few friends and perhaps make a few enemies.

   

  4. Just Dance 2 builds on the winning formula from the first game. The simple controls and fantastic selection of music make is easy for everyone to get involved, making it the social game of choice in households around the world this Christmas. Just Dance 2 comes packed with new gameplay modes such as duet mode, co-op and competitive play, making it the ideal Wii dance game.

   

  5. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is the definitive open-world action game, Ubisoft's third console Assassin's Creed game has enough new content to take out the competition this Christmas. Picking up moments after the events of AC2, Brotherhood sees you take control of Ezio once again, and features a huge variety of side-quests, an intuitive new combat mechanic, sublime platforming and a fantastic new multiplayer mode that is unlike any other game on the market.

   

  6. Gran Turismo 5 sees the return of Sony's legendary simulation racing series to the most powerful video game console on the market, and it doesn't disappoint. GT5 builds on the success of the series by sticking close to the tried and true formula. However, the amount of content in the latest game is through the roof. With over one thousand cars available to drive, dozens of racetracks, special events and online multiplayer Gran Turismo 5 is one of the most feature-packed racing games of the year.

   

  7. Donkey Kong Country Returns is not only a worthy successor to the classic Donkey Kong platforming franchise, but also one worthy of the Nintendo seal of quality. Donkey Kong Country Returns is overflowing with impressively creative and imaginative worlds that constantly provide new and inventive gameplay experiences that demand the kind of quick reflexes and platforming precision that are a trademark of Nintendo platformers. If you thought New Super Mario Bros. was fun, wait until you play this.

   

  8. Medal of Honor faced danger head on by attempting to break into a market dominated by Call of Duty, and manages to do a good job of carving out its own fanbase. The game has tight shooting mechanics, takes place in an unusual but interesting setting and features characters that have unique personalities. Medal of Honor delivers in the multiplayer department too, since it's developed by DICE, the guys behind Battlefield: Bad Company 2, it's not one you can afford to miss.

   

  9. Wii Fit Plus encourages players to maintain a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise. The game makes getting fit fun by providing a variety of exercises with set goals for the player to achieve using its innovative balance board. With over 15 new balance games, six new strength training and a number of yoga activities you'll not only get fit but you'll also have fun doing it.

   

  10. Professor Layton and the Lost Future is easily one of the best games in the popular puzzle series. It wastes no time in getting to the good bits and immediately throws a series of creative puzzles at the player. Make no mistake, this game will require you to get your brain into gear but that won't take much convincing since the puzzles are masterfully woven into an intriguing time-travelling adventure that you'll want to see to the end.
