A total of five new releases made it to the top ten lists last week, with Gears of War acing the charts. The ‘Gears of War: Ultimate Edition’ is the original 2006 Xbox 360 Gears of War remastered and a first outing on Xbox One. The game also gives players access to the Gears of War 4 beta in 2016

Here’s the top 10 UKIE Games Chart for the week ending August 29, 2015-

I’m a big fan of Until Dawn, but what amazes me most is that the game got the #2 spot despite the fact that it’s a PS4 exclusive and Sony put virtually no money into marketing the game. The word-of-mouth is strong with this game.
