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.
The Olympic games are an inspiration to people across the globe, showing everyone that if you just try hard enough, you too can be a world-class athlete. Of course, if you’re not keen on that whole “physical activity” thing, then you can be inspired a little closer to home: SEGA has won gold this week, with London 2012 finally climbing into the top spot.
The more impressive move is from the slightly more kid-friendly version of the same thing: Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games has climbed all the way from 8th up to take the bronze. Sandwiched in the middle? The Blocky Dark Knight, of course, falling from grace after a five-week stretch at the #1.
