MCV/DEVELOP News, events, research and jobs from the games industry
The UK Xbox Live Arcade charts are in. And in the least shocking news of the day – Minecraft is No.1.
It’s always No.1.
That’s not true, actually. There was this one time a few weeks ago when Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (this week No.5) was No.1. It was bloody exciting. We were able to run a different picture and everything.
But Minecraft is back at the top. A position it has held 20 times this year. And has largely been at the top since it was released over a year ago. And hats off to it. The game was developed between series creator Mojang and UK studio 4J.
A boxed version of the game comes to retail this month. I’m not here to do your job for you, but, maybe you should consider stocking a copy or two.
The UK Xbox Live Arcade Top Ten (week ending June 2nd) are:
1. Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
2. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
3. Terraria: Xbox 360 Edition
4. Trials Evolution
5. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
6. Castlestorm
7. BattleBlock Theater
8. The Walking Dead
9. Castle Crasher
10. Worms 2: Armageddon
