UK charts: FIFA 13 defends top spot from Resi 6
8 Oct 2012
The colossal FIFA 13 defended against strong competition from Resident Evil 6 to retain the UK chart top spot this week.

Resi 6, second, was released last Tuesday and recorded the fourth biggest launch of 2012. Resi 5 debuted in first place but launched well away from the autumn mega-brands in March.

Just Dance 4 debuted this week in fourth. The brilliant Borderlands 2 managed to take third.

Lost & Found: The Red Star
8 Oct 2012
I remember wincing when Acclaim went bust. Not because of the job losses, perhaps, although that stuff's always sad. Not even because a storied piece of my childhood had just collapsed, like a lighthouse on an eroded spar of cliff-face, crumbling into the sea. I winced not for others but for myself: now I would never get to play The Red Star.

That was 2004, but in 2012 - 8 years older and little wiser - I'm glad to report that I did get to play it after all. I've finished it, in fact, and it was excellent. The Red Star had been completed by the time Acclaim imploded, and eventually another publisher stepped in to do the decent thing. Capitalism intervened to bring this communist fantasy back to life.

The Red Star's set in an alternate universe in which the Soviet Union is still a really big deal: it's got robots and magic and giant mechanical monsters and laser guns, and almost nobody complains about how disgusting Kvas tastes anymore, or how Stakhanov only dug that much of the Moscow Metro because he had a sodding electrical drill. The whole thing's based on a comic book series I once borrowed from the library but forgot to read, but the end result doesn't feel like a licensed game. Rather, it's embraced its game-iness with real flair. It's a blast.

Sony: PS Mobile highlights our drive to keep PlayStation relevant
8 Oct 2012
PlayStation Mobile, the new face of bite-sized PlayStation gaming, highlights Sony's drive to keep the brand relevant.

That's according to Sony UK boss Fergal Gara, who told Eurogamer that it is imperative Sony branches out brand PlayStation beyond "the traditional narrow world" of consoles.

"Gaming habits are evolving at a hell of a pace, faster than ever before," he said. "Almost every device is a gaming device in some shape or form. People are choosing to game left right and centre.
