Although Killzone 2 sales are down 58 per cent from last week, the Guerilla-developed title is still only 1600 units behind the latest from Total team Creative Assembly.
Empire: Total War is the first PC title to top the All Formats charts since October 2007, according to data from GfK Chart-Track, with sales double that of Rome: Total War's first week.
Empire: Total War is a masterful combination of all the things that I love about strategy games - a great setting, a first-rate presentation, tactics that reward maneuver, and a strategic layer that requires flexibility in your plans. Ultimately, Empire Total War maintains the excellent fusion of thoughtful turn-based empire building and dramatic tactical action that the series is known for, and it layers many new features on those foundations to reach awesome new heights.
"Empire is a massive game with massive edges. They remain scrappy. It's these sort of things which keep it from a 10; that limit it to being merely one of the games of the year, one which I'm going to play another round of immediately."
