Irish Retail Charts 28/10/09
Fifa and Pro Ev caught once again in a never ending battle for the top spot, reviews certainly favoured Fifa this time around but I wonder if it would have really mattered?
Uncharted 2 not sending gamers into a feeding frenzy two weeks after its release and GTA Episodes giving non broadband people the chance to play with Gay Tony at number 5.
Super Smash bros: Brawl pops its head up and wins the most random entry of the week award.

Yeah shame about Uncharted but some people are launch savvy and hold off till the price drops. as i had to fork out 45 GBP for uncharted, which is the most ive ever spent on a game for the ps3! normally i shell out only £20
or my fave a game for a tenner or a fiver. like fallout3 or mirrors edge.
Uncharted is shockingly low down but this is an unbelievably competitive time of year. Probably why a lot of titles are being relegated to early 2010. Still, though, who the fuck bought Sonic & Mario?
I still think Sony have an awful lot to learn about marketing games. The Killzone 2 advert was the best PS3 Tv-Spot in ages and I saw it about 4 times. The Gears of War adverts just blows them out of the water, Uncharted was advertised with the PS3 bundle and didn't show off how good the game was but instead had a casual gamer feel. The should have just shown the Intro sequence with ''actual in game footage'' at the bottom or something to that effect. Loads of people went and forked out for assasins creed just cus they made it look cool in the TV spot.
Their still in an Asian frame of mind with the adverts while Xbox360 is much more ''American lets make this look like a Michael Mann movie'' Shame because they have the product at the minute to really knock it out of the park.
I do agree though its a manic month for titles and its only going to get worse next Tuesday!
Yeah advertising really needs a shake up. The Playstation brand is well marketed, and we know what it is. Games need to be pushed forward. The pushing of the PS3 brand ruined the early run of the PS3 as it took the focus away from the reason to buy it in the first place.
I still think we'll never, ever see a more perfectly executed advertising campaign then the Halo 3 one. Believe.
