Black Ops UK's top game of 2010

@steelmouth Ah well that's fair enough. I'm not going to say the Playstation is killing the xbox because I know damn right it ain't, it's pretty much a known fact that Sony's console is lagging behind in the sales. I will however say that Sony's console has the better games. Each console has it's own strengths in terms of exclusives - but in my opinion I'd say Sony are beating Microsoft now in that field. The sales won't back it up because there's less consoles - and on these lists only the real big guns are up top, but that doesn't mean they aren't the better games.

@warhawk-geeby you said "There's more xboxs than playstations so of course Halo would sell more - not to mention it's the game that made the xbox famous. It's a huge game." this is UK sales so if there are more xbox than the ps3 why are ppl saying the ps3 is killing the x360 in UK my point is simple halo and all games above halo on the x360 charts outsold all games on the ps3 excpt for BO and FIFA there fore the ps3 cant really be kicking x360 ass all that much if at all in the UK right

@steelmouth There's more xboxs than playstations so of course Halo would sell more - not to mention it's the game that made the xbox famous. It's a huge game. Stop trying to be clever. It doesn't suit you.

@Goyoshi12: Oh I completeley agree with Betas. I played the World at War beta and it was great, and that lead me to buy the game. I was a bit sceptical with Treyarch making the game, but the Beta was solid so I got it. I think, at least, all games that can be played online should have Betas. Also a beta of seignle player would be good too, so you could see the full package.

@widdowson91 Well then Game companies need to make Beta's or Demos to games and get feedback from the community. That's kinda what Medal of Honor did on Steam and I did enjoy the Multiplayer but if that was it then it wouldn't hold a candle to the other games. I

@kavadias1981: I completeley agree. We have an XBox 360 and a PS3, but there's no point really. The only reason we have a 360 is because of Gears of War. If you can get the same game on the PS3 I'd rather get it for that. That's why I like the Wii, it has a lot of exclusives that will never be found on the other consoles, like Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid and Kirby.

@Goyoshi12: To be fair you can't really have an opinion about a game until you play it, so you have to buy it to do so. I bought my brother Black Ops for Christmas and give it a shot. I don't like the game really. It's all just 'explosion here' and 'explosion there' and all other pointless eye candy. Gameplay wise the game is solid, but all the pointless things the game has annoy me.

If you all hate Black Ops so much then why do you buy it? All I hear is, "The game sucks, it's just the same thing, it's a load of trash with glitter on it." If you don't like the game then WHY THE HECK DID YOU BUY IT!?!? I'm pretty sure you can return those...you know you can return those right?

I find it strange how with the PS3 and 360 results the same multi platform games finished in exactly the same places on both the lists, with Halo and GT5 both finishing in corresponding positions (3rd). I think that more platform exclusive titles need to appear on both consoles, it would certainly be appealing to buy both consoles then ,and more often than not exclusives tend to be of very good quality, for example GOW, Halo, Fable, heavy rain, God of War, MGS etc. I also disagreed with Red dead redemption (although an incredible game) being awarded both PS3 and 360 game of the year for each platform, these awards should be platform specific titles.Just had an axe to grind lol

i dont play black ops multiplayer much, zombies is amazing though which i play a lot at the moment and the campaign is really good, but im not interested in the multiplayer much for some reason.

I dont play Black Ops!.. games terrible!..

@acasero44 I can't wait till the lists show Black Ops is top game in whatever godforsaken country you come from. Because thats what Black Ops is. Overrated, like your judgement on the UK.

Call of Duty and FIFA are the most sold games. How original........

First thing that came to my mind was "only in UK"? As a side note: It also must be taken in consideration (something this charts provably didn't), that due to the value difference between Pound Vs. Euro and the price in UK, a lot (and i mean A LOT) of imports are made from the UK to European and non-European countries where games are considerably more expensive (Portugal, Italy, Spain) and those where censorship is an issue (Germany, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E and Morocco) As a side note 2: PS3 sales in Europe are slightly higher that X360, last time I checked it was a quite small diference (doubt is has changed now).

europeans and soccer am not suprised to see FIFA 11 but its interesting to see the x360 and ps3 similarities, its all the same games excpt for #3 which is an exclusive PS guys a quick math Halo Reach is #3 on x360 charts and #9 on overall charts therefore its save to say it out sold all games on the ps3 charts from #3 up right there fore the ps3 ant kicking the x360 ass as much as its claimed in europe right

Is anyone else tired of all the elitist gamers who can't enjoy a perfectly good game just because it's popular?

nice to see america's violent games are #1 around the world.

It is always great seeing Americans look at our charts like "BLASPHEMY" or something along those lines :lol: Charts always preference to the stuff we would care less about, it is for games that appeal to the masses as their core audience. I love Mass Effect like everybody else here, but let's face it, no casual gamer would really comprehend the depth of it in anyway.

@kavadias1981: Companies became even more commercial.

What is the point of having seperate consoles (PS3 and 360) that seem to have an almost identical library? I mean, look at the top 5 for them. Only 1 exclusive from each is a top seller. What happened to the days when different consoles actually had different games?!

wow Black ops would of thaught it would of been Red dead for uk top i hear alot of people say black ops isnt as good as MW2

Not enough people played Mass Effect 2...clearly!

That top 10 is a joke. I suppose there are loads of people who buy the same games every year and don't really branch out. Most of my friends only play FIFA and Call of Duty games. Not for me but each to his own.

I like how with the exception of GT5 and Halo both the PS3 and Xbox have identical sales charts. Goes to show we're all in the same boat really.. If sony and microsoft worked together that would be a fine fine day.. Shame it will never happen.

@noble95x . If you look at the Xbox 360 sales chart you will see that Black Ops and FIFA outsold Reach on the 360. Don't mean to troll but you should probably look into things before you state them as facts especially when the evidence to disprove what you are saying is included in the article you are commenting on.

BALONEY chart !

enough of black ops already, no one cares

Sheep! Bloody sheep! The lot o' ya'! lolz

As long as it was just sales and no one actually in the UK picked Black ops as the top game of 2010, its okay.

Hmm.... I prefer BC2 well over BO, but thats just me I guess. And whats up with the PC list? Football Mangager at top 2? LOL. Why is BO not on PC list? Oh yeah cause its all FUBAR.

I find it a shame that ME2 didn't make it into the xbox top 5.

I am happy that pokemon was on the top 5 of ds and assassin creed brotherhood to come on top 10 of global and Amazed that red dead redemption was not on the top 3's

Great Game, i love it

not surprised with FIFA being up there

Never suspected Professor Layton would sell more over there than Pokemon. :shock:

Britons sure do like their Football.

@mimicus Well you do have to remember that the first 5 COD games were good and they has laid a strong foundation for COD games.

And meanwhile BC2 just gets better and better. Just got the Vietnam pack a couple weeks ago and... damn. Great game, great investment. Still glad I bought it first day. Not at all surprised that it's just as underrated in England as it is here in the states. IW could re-release the original Contra (NES), call it Call of Duty: Future Hero Fighter Guys and it would still lead the charts all over the place. You think people are a little biased when it comes to anything with the COD label on it? Maybe?

you know what I dont hate black ops cause i own a lot of players and i have a LOT of fun piloting a helicopter or calling dogs to kill my opponents and im not a sissy who complains about a game because everybody do or because i suck in the game, for real stop talking trash if you dont have nothing good to say dont say it! Nazi ZOMBIES COOP FTW!

black ops was a good game, still play it, but no where as talented as uncharted or assassins creed or red dead redemption. you could say black ops is selling like Justin Beiber's album, untalented, but everyone buys it.

Just Dance was 3rd overall? Yet again, I underestimate the sheer number of casual gamers out there. Standard, unoriginal, by-the-numbers FPS sells the most. No surprises there.

Pretty sad really for us UK gamers.

@ i always love reading some casual racism in the morning thanks

Im never meeting Uk gamers it seems they have very minimal gaming knowledge despite them spending more time in their house researching due to cold weather. LAME more like Trash Ops

@BornGamer Ah, Snap! :P @Tauu Yes really. We are talking the UK here. I am really surprised it didn't get the Number 1 spot :?
