Hour of madeness!!!

I live in the UK and today I went out to go and do some buissiness of my own take back a game buy another crappy one that i hatebut anyway back to story. I went round some of our big UK stores first off Woolworths (big store dunno if you have it in america) and i look at the game sales charts 1= Forza 2 oh that seams about right i thought no2= Hour of victory, what I thought to mayself people are buying this crap, I carried on and put it down to the fact that woolworths customers don't no jack about games. Next store HMV there game charts no1= HOUR of victory :0. Game no.3 = Hour of victory, in fact almost every shop I wnet into had Hour of victory high up in there sales charts I couldn't belive my eyes This game is acctually selling copies and this game comapny is making money from a terrible game arghhhhhhhhhhhh buy somthing better please.

I've worked at a decent amount of stores that sell games (not game stores just stores that sell games also next to DVD's and such) and all of them made up the best-sellers list to advertise for new games.

It's not unlikely that happened there as well.

Yeh us brits really are clueless.

It doesnt help either when douches like GAME and BLOCKBUSTER advertise this game to its own merits, complimenting it with tags such as "The next generation of war-gaming" or in blockbusters case constantly advertising it on TV in their stores.

But I do tend to interfere when I see confused gamers picking off copies from the shelves, im sure people wouldnt mind the advice.

Becareful though, make sure you do it quietly and with subtlety. A GAME retailer in Manchester threatened to ban me from their shop just because I saved some poor soul's £40. Those bastards will really so anything to sell crap like that.

I remember when that 50 cent game did so well despite being complete garbage. I dont EVER buy games off the shelf that I dont already know a great deal about. not even word of mouth. I have friends that buy games like that and always end up with terrible games like pimp my ride and crouching tiger hidden dragon

Dunno why you look in Woolies and HMV, those are the two worst places to go for games next to Dixons. HMV near me sells Prey for £29.99 on SPECIAL OFFER.

lol I love these "special offer deals".

I saw dead rising PREOWNED in GAME for £29.99

Someone needs to stand next to the copies and when a person reaches to buy one you just smack there hand and point to Gears of War or Rainbow Six Vegasgaaraofsandalt

Agreed. Gaming would be a much better place if everyone would do a little research before purchasing a game. That way crappy games wouldnt sell nearly as well and they would have to amp up the quality of their products to compete.
