Cooking Mama 2 is spurned in favour of GTA IV again

Tuesday, 13 May 2008 15:50
Grand Theft Auto IV stomped all over its rivals today, despite Cooking Mama 2 moving up to tenth
Not much has changed this week. Cooking Mama 2 still remains stuck down in tenth position, cruelly denied the chance to prove itself worthy of the upper echelons. Life just is not fair sometimes.

Anywho, Grand Theft Auto IV remains rooted to the top, smashing the nearside window of the charts and stealing the first position from the glove compartment therein. All this after a whopping 77 per cent drop in sales figures between week one and two.

Other than that, not much else of interest has gone on chart-wise. The usual pushing, shoving, jostling and eye-raking has been going on, but minimal positional shifts are all that have been achieved.

Only one game has elbowed its way into the top 20, Super Mario Galaxy, taking the total number of moustachioed plumber-based titles to five.

    While Fable was a very good game, it was a little too ambitious for its own good, and many of the promises that Peter Molyneux made for the game ended up being nixed (Funny how that happens with all of his games – cynical Ed). Full Story
