 Microsoft's Gears of War, for the Xbox 360, goes straight in at number one

Microsoft's Gears of War, for the Xbox 360, goes straight in at number one


Nov 23,2006 by Mike

Microsoft's Gears of War, for the Xbox 360, goes straight in at number one in this week's ELSPA UK games chart.
The third-person tactical shooter (pictured), which 'thrusts gamers into a deep and harrowing story of humankind's epic battle for survival against the Locust Hordeset', is the first game developed by Epic Games exclusively for Microsoft Game Studios.

Gears of War - Xbox 360
   

EA's street racing game Need For Speed: Carbon (DS, GBA, GC, PS2, PSP, Wii, Xb360, Xb, PC, PS3) is deposed to number two, with THQ's wrestling game WWE Smackdown! Vs. RAW 2007 (PS2, Xb360) slipping one place down to three.

With no other new entries, the biggest climber this week is THQ's Bratz: Forever Diamondz (GBA GC PS2, DS) - up from 29 to nine which is aimed at girls and has just been released for the Nintendo DS. Yasmin, Cloe, Sasha and Jade are back on an adventure that sends them 'in search of the hottest young fashion designer'.

Getting format specific, Medieval II: Total War remains number one in the PC chart, WWE Smackdown! Vs. RAW 2007 stays number one for the PS2 chart, and Need For Speed: Carbon is still top of the Xbox chart. The only change, as you would expect, is that Gears of War is number one for the Xbox 360.

Without more ado, here is the all-format Top 10 in full (number of weeks in chart in brackets), for the week ending 18 November (full-price games):

1 Gears of War (1)
2 Need For Speed: Carbon (3)
3 WWE Smackdown! Vs. RAW 2007 (2)
4 FIFA 07 (8)
5 The Sims 2: Pets (5)
6 Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (4)
7 Call of Duty 3 (2)
8 LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (11)
9 Bratz: Forever Diamondz (2)
10 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (3)
