Boomtown X

THQ's what-if shooter set in a USA invaded by North Korea - Homefront - has entered the UK videogames chart in top position, pushing Dragon Age II down into second place.

Shogun 2: Total War enters the chart in fourth place. Despite the many bugs and poor strategy AI I've long been a fan of the Total War series but I must admit that I'm not getting along with Shogun 2. Maybe I'm just not into the setting.

Our resident Wrestling expert Joe gets in the ring with THQ's WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2011 on PlayStation 3...

Is the PSP version of the mixed martial arts game UFC Undisputed 2010 a worthy contender?

THQ still hasn't fixed a bug in shooter Metro 2033 that means players can't earn achievement points from the recently released Ranger Pack.

The publisher is asking gamers to be patience while it solves the problem.
