Well, well, well, if it isn't FIFA 14 and Call of Duty: Ghosts back at the top of the UK charts like they own the damn place. Last week's brief Tomb Raider rebellion? Totally crushed. It's like watching a rerun of your grandma's favorite soap opera – predictable but weirdly comforting. Fable Anniversary waltzed into third place like a boss though, proving HD remasters ain't just nostalgia bait. The rest? Meh, same ol' suspects chilling in their usual spots. But hold onto your controllers, 'cause February and March are about to drop enough new games to make this chart do the cha-cha slide.
The Unshakeable Top Dogs 🐕
Let's break down this déjà vu:
-
FIFA 14 (EA): Back to #1 faster than I can yell "GOOOOAL!" – guess Brits still prefer virtual football over actual sunlight.
-
Call of Duty: Ghosts (Activision): Clinging to #2 like it's the last chopper outta 'Nam. Some things never change.
-
Fable Anniversary (Microsoft): This remastered gem scored #3 – not bad for a 10-year-old game wearing new makeup.
-
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (Square Enix): Tumbled from #1 to #4. Ouch! Lara Croft got ghosted harder than my Tinder dates.
The Chart Zombies 🧟♂️
Seriously, when's the last time we saw fresh blood? The rest are basically couch-surfing:
| Rank | Game | Publisher | Last Week | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | LEGO Marvel Super Heroes | Warner Bros. | 5 | → |
| 6 | GTA V | Rockstar | 8 | ↑ |
| 7 | Battlefield 4 | EA | 4 | ↓ |
| 8 | Minecraft | Microsoft | 7 | ↓ |
| 9 | Killzone | Sony | 10 | ↑ |
| 10 | Assassin's Creed IV | Ubisoft | 6 | ↓ |
Madden NFL 25 crashing back in at #14 after being MIA? That's the real plot twist! Meanwhile, Aliens: Colonial Marines at #17? How's that hot mess still hanging around? 🤔
People Also Ask 🤔
Why do FIFA and CoD dominate every. single. time?
Easy – they're gaming's equivalent of comfort food. Rainy UK day? Slap on FIFA. Bored? Blow stuff up in CoD. It's basic human nature, folks.
Are remasters like Fable Anniversary worth full price?
Depends! If you're craving that sweet, sweet nostalgia hit? Sure! But if you're expecting groundbreaking changes... bless your heart.
When will this chart finally change?
Buckle up, buttercup! With new releases dropping soon, we might actually see... gasp... movement. Revolutionary, I know.
Final Thoughts 💭
Look, I ain't mad at FIFA and CoD – they're the reliable old pals who always show up with beer. But c'mon UK gamers, where's the sense of adventure? Tomb Raider got one lousy week before y'all went crawling back to the usual suspects. Maybe next week'll surprise us... or maybe we'll just rewatch this same rerun. Same as it ever was, am I right? 😉
