Innovation falls flat in UK charts

Despite a pleasant atmosphere of European expectation at the start of February, we're halfway through and the charts look as mundane as ever. The Guardian Gamesblog's Greg took a look at this week's UK charts–notable absentees include Psychonauts and We ♥ Katamari. Ouch.

Greg, and blog commenters, ponder the cause of these games' failures–from crazy cartoony packaging to gamers'
inability to actually find the titles in shops. It seems most likely that the European release delay is responsible, though; after receiving rave reviews and building up buzz months ago, these titles are all-but-forgotten now.
