Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 holds on at the top of the All Formats All Prices UK video game chart for a fifth successive week thanks to a 14 per cent week-on-week sales increase. Activision’s shooter has now matched the five week run at the top managed by Warner’s LEGO Batman 2.

Widespread retailer promotions on Hitman: Absolution give it enough ammunition to climb a huge 91 per cent and take second place, followed by FIFA 13 which holds at No.3 for a sixth week.

Ubisoft takes the next places with Just Dance 4, Far Cry 3 and Assassin’s Creed 3 taking fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.

Nintendo Land is now the only Wii U title inside the Top 40, hanging on at No.39.
