No prizes for guessing what game is dominating the charts this week - you'd have to be living under a rock to not realise that one of the most highly-anticipated games of the year was released last week... and has apparently lived up to the hype.
The question therefore is - which platform came out on top?
Meanwhile, PC gamers are still hanging out in simulated bathrooms, the Wii's racing around in a little car with a plumber, the PS2 rocks out heroically, DS gamers are strengthening their cranial capacity again, and the PSP is
still wrestling with Kratos and his heavy chains.
