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.
There are – wait for it – four new titles in the top ten this week, including a brand new #1. It seems the reign of the superheroes has come to an end, as the inevitable undead uprising sees Dead Island: Riptide taking out the top spot. (Number nerds: 71% of the game’s UK sales have been on Xbox 360.)
Also making the charts: Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, which debuts at #3 just like its predecessor; Star Trek, which has arrived in the UK a few weeks ahead of the cinematic release; and the shiny prequel to Lego City Undercover, which takes the blocky bad guys and puts them on your 3DS.
