There's plenty to digest, so brace...

Two weeks on the bounce.

Crysis 3 held off the advances of the erstwhile FIFA 13 this week, to ensure a second week at the top of the UK all formats sales chart.

Release date confirmed, too...

Well, somebody has made a bit of a mistake. It appears that on the Assassin's Creed IV preview site, a little bit of URL hackery allowed people to get in and see page where people will be able to watch the trailer of the new game this coming Monday.

Just another retro wednesday.

Xbox Live Arcade release day is one of our favourite times of the week, and this week sees the release of two potential crackers.

Microsoft has slashed the prices of four Halo titles as part of their Ultimate Xbox Live Sale which encompasses over 60 titles. If you're yet to indulge in the critically acclaimed 343 Industries debut, Halo 4, then the £24.99 price should prove irresistable (compared to the usual RRP of £49.99). Also...

Metal Gear Defeated.

In an interesting week in the UK All Formats chart, Crysis 3 has defeated Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance to take the top position on the ladder. Only 5,500 sales seperated the two, and the fact that Crysis 3 is also available for PC has clearly made all the difference. 57% of sales of Crytek's title were on Xbox 360...

Possibly headed to 720.
