Welcome to Player Attack!
We love charts here at Player Attack, and one of the highlights of our week is receiving the latest details from UKIE, who send us the 40 best-selling titles in Britain, as announced by the The Association for UK Interactive Entertainment.
For a moment, I would like to direct your attention to games #6 and #7 on this week's chart. Now, try to tell me that the Brits aren't taking their "lose weight" new year's resolution seriously. Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012 is also evidence of this - it was released back in week 45 last year, but has only just cracked the top 40 this week, with a bullet at #12.
Meanwhile, it's the fourth week that FIFA 12 has rocked out in the top spot, and those two Big Name FPS may have started their descent, stepping down two places each.

I like video games, fishing, Depeche Mode, long walks on the beach, writing discussion papers and cups of tea. Not necessarily in that order.
