    I wonder if Mass effect slips because of the issues it has?

    LBP2 is awesome! I play co-op with my wife and we love every minute there :)
    Mass Effect is a bit outdated for us and not surprised it is slipping from the charts.

    Speaking as a non-PS3 owner, I think LBP has got to be one of the most infectious franchises ever created.

    I wonder if its because they have Stephen Fry working for them on it....

    Problem is Mass Effect is too expensive. It should never have been FULL retail price considering it can be had for under £10 for 360/PC (yes it's got all the downloadable content but still).

    Bioshock 1 was delayed ages for PS3 and it arrived at a reduced RRP with added content.

    Anyway i'm waiting till it hits £20 too bust with dead Space 2 atm.

    Loads of people playing ME2 on my list, more than that are playing LBP2 but only slightly and quite a few playing DS2 now. Its good to know not everyone just sticks to Call of Duty all year. Haven't tried my copy of DS2 yet as ME2 and LBP2 are keeping me busy, both games are fantastic and I hope all three get the sales they deserve.
