Tight-pants, swords and guns went down a treat in Britain last week, as Devil May Cry 4 went straight to the top spot. The irony of it being the 360 version that attained the feat will be, I'm sure, lost on nobody. Further down the chart? Both the peculiar and predictable. Peculiar: Turok charts not once, but twice. Predictable: A darts game for the Wii comes in at #5.

It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
I would say the largest surprise on there is Burnout Paradise only turning up on the PS3.
Peculiar?....Britain don't reflect all Europe...we all know britain is like US...
Let's now see how "peculiar" is DMC4 in german list, and french, and spanish, and portuguese, and danish, and italian, and irish, and dutch, belgian, austria, switzerland, sweden, norway, finland, etc etc and then we will see what version is on top.....
This kinda makes for an unfair comparison of the two console versions of DMC.
But to it's credit, the ps3 version only sold about 4000 less copies than the 360 version all across Europe. Which is a big ps3 victory when you consider that there are 1.5 (million) more 360 consoles sold in Europe than ps3
Edit- Because I was caught on my 1.5 mil typo lol
i might get Turok- despite the crap reviews and negative feedback
nice to see DMC4 selling well in general
and its also a surprise that BO:P on PS3 is outselling the 360 version, seeing as the UK is still a mainly 360 area
From the demo and the reviews turok looks god awful. No wonder so many mediocre fps games get made. Even the crap ones sell well.
