UK Charts: Black Ops II Keeps on Fighting
Christmas is only a couple of weeks away now, and as such the UK Video games chart is getting competitive – what with every publisher looking to get their game into the much-vaunted number one spot.
Last year – through some smart marketing and heavily-discounted prices – Skyrim managed to claim it, but who will manage the feat this year? One strange thing though is the fact that Skyrim has actually managed to re-enter the chart, one year on, as it fights its way into fifteenth in the chart. This is largely due to the release of a new chunk of DLC.
The chart is beginning to take on a little more of a Christmas flavour, what with party title Just Dance 4 climbing back up to fourth spot, and kids games Skylanders Giants and Moshi Monsters hanging on in the top twenty as perfect Holiday gifts for youngsters.
As always you can click the name of the game to read our review of the title.

If I'm not playing on a good Adventure Game - still longing for the long-past Golden Age of the genre, when Lucasarts and Sierra ruled supreme - you might find me searching for a local arcade, in the hopes that it still houses titles such as Sunset Riders or WindJammers.
