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.
And it’s a hat-trick for Dead Island Riptide, which takes top honours for a third week in a row. It’s just the second game to manage that this year, following in the footsteps of BioShock Infinite – and it’s had some unexpected competition, with Call of Duty: Black Ops II jumping up four places with a 60% increase in sales. In fact, this week’s top seven is made up entirely of former #1 titles, with Assassin’s Creed III making a cut-price comeback.
Only two new releases this week too: Persona 4 Arena finally arrives in the UK, and settles at #11, while the retail copy of The Walking Dead goes two better, landing at #9.
