14 DAY TRIAL // Titanfall, the shooter from developer Respawn Entertainment and publisher Electronic Arts, has managed to retake the number one position in the United Kingdom video game chart for this week, showing that the experience has long-term sales potential.
The two companies have not said exactly how many copies the title has sold on each platform and interested gamers can currently pick it up on the Xbox One, the 360 and the PC.
The entire experience is focused on multiplayer matches that involve fast moving pilots and powerful mechs and the developers at Respawn Entertainment have explained that they plan to deliver new game modes for free via patches, while adding more maps for the title using regular paid downloadable content packs.
FIFA 14, the EA Sports created football simulation, might be one of the oldest video games in the United Kingdom chart, but it managed to go up one position during the week that ended on May 10 in order to reach second.
The game should be getting special DLC linked to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil now that regular championships are ending and it will be interesting to see whether the game can continue its long run in the top ten.
The last place on the podium, according to UKIE, is occupied by The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the comic book powered experienced created by Beenox and published by Activision that managed to take the number one position during the previous seven-day period.
The Xbox 360 version of the indie hit Minecraft has managed to recuperate two positions and get to fourth this week. This is probably a clear sign that the number of interesting new releases was rather small. It is followed by 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, from EA Sports, which has dropped one position.
Call of Duty: Ghosts, the first-person shooter from developer Infinity Ward and publisher Activision, is in sixth place and The LEGO Movie Video Game from Warner Bros. has managed to gain one place and reach seventh.
Battlefield 4, the shooter from DICE and Electronic Arts, is in eighth this week and the LEGO title based on the adventures from The Hobbit has dropped two positions.
A third LEGO title, Marvel Super Heroes, closes down the United Kingdom video game chart, while Bound by Flame, a new release, only managed to reach twelfth place despite having an interesting fantasy universe and some cool combat mechanics.
