GRID 2 meanwhile takes pole position
Whilst many didn’t expect it to set the charts alight, it can’t be of any comfort to Insomniac Games to know thatFuseentered theUK videogame charts at number 37. Our ownJim Sterling said in his reviewthe game was “lazy” and “victim of the heavily focus-tested, leader following videogame industry.”
To give you some idea about how bad this placing it,Fusewas outsold byGTA IV(19),The Walking Dead(23),Pokemon Mystery Dunegon: Infinity(27),Red Dead Redemption(29) andJust Dance 4(35). At least Codemasters has something to celebrate — its racing titleGRID 2debuted at number one.
I haven’t seen any advertising forFuseat all in the UK, neither in print or on TV. It’s as if the game has been put out to die, to borrow a Pachterism. Still……. 37?!? (InsertClerksjoke here.)
