SegaShiro: Pure SEGA HARDCORE!

Thank you, UK! It turns out that AVP franchise cannot be dismissed as the game shot to charts in the UK leap frogging over BioShock 2, Just Dance, New Super Mario Bros. and Fifa 10. That is pretty impressive and it looks like the game is a success.

Furthermore, there are already discussions about a sequel to the game because of its generally favorable reviews despite some real stinkers from North American media outlets (73 Metacritic Rating). Rebellion’s CEO, Jason Kingsley, stated: “We wanted Aliens Versus Predator to be a critical success as well as a commercial success…which we think we have achieved…We would love to work with Sega again…there were a lot of things we couldn’t fit into the original.”

Now, this might be a big give-a-way for the upcoming review but after I played through the campaign mode of Rebellion’s AVP – I wanted a sequel immediately. Thank goodness the game has a Survivor mode or I would be in serious AVP gore withdrawal.

Hit the jump for the full UK list:

1. Aliens vs. Predator
2. Just Dance
3. BioShock 2
4. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
5. FIFA 10
6. Modern Warfare 2
7. Wii Sports Resort
8. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games
9. Wii Fit Plus
10. Army of Two: The 40th Day
11. Vancouver 2010
12. Forza Motorsport 3
13. James Cameron Presents James Cameron’s Avatar The Game By James Camerons
14. Lego Batman
15. Mass Effect 2
16. Bayonetta
17. Mario Kart Wii
18. Peppa Pig: The Game
19. Darksiders
20. New Super Mario Bros.

I hope this momentum continues and I hope this spells good things for SEGA’s other Aliens FPS: Colonial Marines.
