News UK Sales Charts: God of War Takes the Bronze in Uneventful Week for PlayStation
"Do not be sorry. Be better"
It seems everyone has been too busy watching the World Cup to go out and buy some new PS4 games. The latest UK sales chart is out, and for PlayStation at least, it's wholly unremarkable. God of War drops into third place, maintaining steady sales, and FIFA 18 is understandably holding firm in second. One of the week's...

There’s not much going on in Japan at the moment, as evidenced by Record of Grancrest War being the best-selling new release of the week. The title moved just 11,871 units. It means that evergreen seller Splatoon 2 was able to secure the top spot with just 15k units added to its already substantial tally. Elsewhere, the PlayStation 4...

The highest peak in all the realms
It's a day late, but this return to the No.1 spot on the UK charts is a great Father's Day gift for the Ghost of Sparta. God of War is back on top after a few weeks lower down the top 10, largely due to Sony's Days of Play sale which saw discounts on Santa Monica Studio's latest and greatest. The sale also bumped...

Fate/Extella Link, a sequel to the rather good Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star, which launched around a year ago here in the West, has hacked and slashed its way to the top of the Japanese software charts with ease.

The latest UK sales charts are out, and it's a pleasantly surprising result for Focus Home Interactive.

Summer lull
PlayStation 4 role-playing game remake The Caligula Effect: Overdose somehow managed to top the latest Japanese software charts by moving a meagre 20,000 copies, and that perhaps tells you all that you need to know.
