Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Image 1 


The UK is in the grip of the force as Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PSP, DS) enters software charts at top spot.

The Force Unleashed marks the biggest release week ever for a Star Wars game, and the biggest launch since Grand Theft Auto IV. The game is also marked as the 10th fastest selling title ever across all formats. It looks like despite lukewarm reviews, The Force Unleashed still has some pull. Get it? The Force? Pull? Never mind.

Also entering top 10 is, what's this? An MMORPG! How rare. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning also enters the charts this week in fourth place. Also new in the charts is Crysis Warhead at 21st place. Probably thanks to a slightly-less demanding list of hardware requirements. Spore is down to 10th place from 3rd last week.

Here's the full top 10 list of top games in the UK for the week of September 20:
  1. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed – LucasArts
  2. Wii Fit – Nintendo
  3. Mario Kart Wii – Nintendo
  4. Warhammer Online: Age Of Reckoning – EA
  5. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 – EA
  6. Mercenaries 2: World In Flames – EA
  7. Wii Play – Nintendo
  8. Carnival: Funfair Games – 2K Play
  9. TNA Impact! – Midway
  10. Spore – EA

Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy were much better games. Re-make them and put them on the PSN for us to enjoy.

Wow bigger than Battlefront? That was one of the biggest releases in gaming history. I remember buying that game a week after it came out and it was amazing. I can't wait for Battlefront 3.
