UK Chart: Tomb Raider finishes top, SimCity enjoys strong launch

bunch of suckers... I wouldn't even buy SimCity out of the bargain bin.

Tomb Rider definitely deserves that first place, great game. Looks good, plays good, story... well, isn't brilliant but good enough to make the game interesting.

P.S. Totally agree with attached TressFX video, in game it looks... wrong. Played through entire game on X360 and never noticed that hair aren't realistic enough, but on PC with tressFX on (aside of 20-30 fps drop) in every cutscene instead of watching what's going on on screen I watched the simulated hair behaving in completely unrealistic way, very distracting.

allz I did was day dream in work about getting home and playing it I enjoyed Tomb Raider that much and iv not been like that since San Andreas when I was in school.. genuinely didn't want it to end

When I look at Tomb Raider I see "Hunger Games" ^^... That's what I saw in that trailer, she had a bow hunting stuff etc, and that little girl, she has to save ahah, no wonder it's "top seller", they give the people what they want...

Playing Tomb Raider is a blast. It's one of those games you keep looking at how far you've progressed because you don't want it to end. I only regret not playing it on the hard difficulty instead of normal. I'm not the best gamer out there but I've only died a couple times in 14 hours of play.

TR is a great game ! never thought Lara would get involved in so much gun play action !

the parachute bit was a bit strange ? my rare is 9.5

Why is the city in the thumbnail 90% road?

Great game, well deserved, hard to find a non RPG game that offers way over 10h in solid main story content alone, it's about damn time someone did.

Surprised to see Naruto at number 3 in the UK Charts, they sure must love Anime

So sad to see Sim City on second place. Fucking casuals.

Tomb Raider is back on top.

Glad to see Tomb Raider doing good. Just completed it last night at 100 percent. Watch out Drake, Lara's back! :P

"SimCity enjoys strong launch"
Anyone else see the irony?

@Imperiacommando the pretentious asshole demographic.

TR is a fun play with a lot to do and explore. You can't go wrong playing this game.

TR is fun,looks good,but its shit.

A:CM still selling...and more than DS3 which is 100x a better game...what a shame. Why do they still show these stupid brainless UK charts?

@Imperiacommando Sadly they're not on this list.

I love the titles of Tomb Raider, And I think all most of them were really great! (BUT THE ANGEL OF DARKNESS).

They really deserve the 1st place!

this new game seems to be promissing and breath-taking. waiting for more reviews.

I am to purchase the game soon though :) I am in love with Lara

All I see is people prefer to play games that offer little to no challenge. It's a shame my demographic is not represented more in smarter games.

Good to hear that Tomb Raider is doing well. It really is excellent.

I'm really happy to hear Tomb Raider is doing well, especially since so many were expecting it to follow in DmC's path.

wow Dead Space 3 has really fallen.

How is Black Ops 2 still in the top ten ? seriously as a former fan of the series how are people still not bored of the game yet ?

Tomb raider is my game of the year (so far). Excellent game.

love the game. yes it may borrow from others. but seriously so many games do .

As a standalone adventure , its the best since uncharted 2. And i defo want sequels to this new lara.

Fair played to Crystal Dynamics making Tomb Raider a success. I actually don't particularly like it, I've played about four hours of it on the PC but I think it plays way too much like the Assassins Creed and Uncharted series (which unsurprisingly are two series I don't like either).

But that's just me, I prefer the older, much slower paced Tomb Raider games with puzzles you have to actually have a good think about. Making a game in that style today would just be a non-starter, and even if they tried it, it definitely wouldn't have same sort of appeal (and accompanying budget) the new Tomb Raider game has. I'll probably go back to it later in the week and give it another go, but every time I hit a quick time event I just completely lose the will to play on. Personally I'd just prefer they scrapped the button prompts and just had them as little in engine cutscenes ferrying you from one scene to another, at least then I could have a swig of my coffee without risking death every bloody time!

But I get it, practically everyone else loves it, so they must be doing something right. Though it is kind of weird seeing Tomb Raider, Hitman and SimCity all in the chart

It's nice that the new, more realistic Lara Croft achieved more than "realistic" (i.e. worse than it could have been) success. Even though I'm no fan of Tomb Raider, I like the concept and approach of the game. It's also fun to see that Skyrim managed to get into the top-ten again.

Oh Yeah, Tomb Raider is №1, have waited so long for the game , it's truly deserves it!

Lol, Starcraft II HOS is not even on the list.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves buying simcity. That is, if you knew what was happening in the US.
