Killzone 3 Beats Bulletstorm to Top UK Charts

Gunning down opponents
The long-awaited Killzone 3 blew up all-comers in the UK charts this week, outselling every other game to make it all the way to the top.
The week's other high-profile release was Epic Games' multiplatform Bulletstorm which, in its Xbox 360-exclusive Epic Edition comes with beta access to Gears of War 3, but not even the allure of playing the 360's biggest exclusive of 2011 was enough to outsell Guerilla Games' latest title.
However, first week sales weren't as strong as those of predecessor Killzone 2: while 2009's entry was Sony's fifth biggest opening week ever, 2011's follow-up is the 14th best week.
If you haven't picked up the game yet, our Killzone 3 review and Killzone 3 PlayStation Move tips might help you pull your wallet from your pocket.

Both games are cool, but only Killzone has Sharpshooter support which puts it over the top IMO, mate.

This was expected of Killzone 3. The best FPS game that actually supports Move
