UK CHARTS: Batman swoops to No.1

MCV Staff 1st September 2009 Publishing

Batman: Arkham Asylum is this week’s UK number one.

According to GfK-ChartTrack data for the week ending August 29th, the Eidos-published and Rocksteady-developed game has toppled Wii Sports Resort from its throne.

Batman was the only significant release of last week – the new Wii Sports had to make do in second place.

Elsewhere in the charts, Ashes 2009 held its spot at third, with last week’s new entry Wolfenstein already down to No.4.

There was otherwise little other change in the charts – except LEGO Batman did move into the top ten, no doubt buoyed by the release of the more ‘grown up’ counterpart.

The full top ten for the week is as follows:

1. BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM
2. WII SPORTS RESORT
3. ASHES CRICKET 2009
4. WOLFENSTEIN
5. WII FIT
6. CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR
7. MARIO KART WII
8. TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 10
9. LEGO BATMAN: THE VIDEOGAME
10. CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE

[Guest post] Among Us on Windows: what the social deduction boom looks like from the desktop

Social deduction has always been a party-room genre first and a software genre second. Werewolf and Mafia needed a table, a moderator and a group willing to lie to each other for an hour. The digital versions that stuck tend to keep that structure intact and add the one thing tabletop versions can't: anonymity, plus a reason to move around.
