CHARTED: Week Ending January 4, 2014

Posted on January 18, 2014 by Jason Nason

Previously I’ve been looking just at Nintendo’s titles in the top thirty to see where they stack, but this time I’m going to instead take a look at just the top ten games for both the USA and Japan.

It’s amazing to see the differences in the top tens between the two territories. There is only one game from Nintendo systems in the top ten in the United States for the week ending January 5th, 2014, with the title being Pokémon X/Y for the 3DS. The highest ranked Wii U game is actually Super Mario 3D World, which landed on the chart at 16. Interestingly enough Ubisoft’s Just Dance 2014 for the Wii landed at number 6.

Taking a look at the Japan top ten we see a different story, with games from Nintendo systems taking up eight of the top ten spots. Only Square Enix’s recently released Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster on PS3 and PS Vita could crack into the top ten.

Take a look at the full top ten rankings for the USA and Japan.

LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins | Review

Posted on January 13, 2014 by Jason Nason

LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins is all of the fun you would expect from a Nintendo title, filled with charm, humour and lots to do.

The game takes its inspiration not only from the LEGO City line of building toys but also from the type of open concept gameplay more mature fans have become accustomed to in the Grand Theft Auto series. In this game you will find many of the same familiar themes and gameplay mechanics from GTA titles without any of the violence or language that that series has become famous for.

In LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins you step into the shoes of Chase McCain, who is ready to prove he’s more than just a rookie police officer. This prequel to LEGO City Undercover on the Wii U reveals the origin story of Chase McCain, one of the city’s most celebrated crime fighters. Chase has just joined the police force and is sent undercover in order to prove his worth as a LEGO City police officer, making use of disguises to gain special abilities, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with underground criminal gangs. He quickly becomes a one-man show set to bring down the criminal element running amok in LEGO City.
