It's a Black Ops Christmas!
20/Dec/2010 Activision Blizzard’s ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’ ( 3%) has claimed victory in the battle for Christmas No1, which marks the second year in a row for the franchise. Activision Blizzard’s ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’ ( 3%) has claimed victory in the battle for Christmas No1, which marks the second year in a row for the franchise. Up next are two regular Christmas No1 contenders, both from EA, with ‘FIFA 11’ (-1%) at No2 closely pursued by ‘Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit’ ( 48%) which has accelerated up the grid from No7 to No3. We then have two very different games from Ubisoft with ‘Just Dance 2’ ( 15%) at No4 and ‘Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood’ (-6%) at No5. There is another racer at No6 with Sony’s ‘Gran Turismo 5’ (-4%) and swinging in at No7 is Nintendo’s ‘Donkey Kong Country Returns’ (-13%). At No8 another EA title, ‘Medal of Honor’ ( 15%) fights its way up the chart, back into the Top 10.
Rounding off the Top 10 there are two Nintendo titles - ‘Wii Fit Plus’ ( 0%) at No9 and ‘Professor Layton and the Lost Future’ (-13%) at No10.
