Deep Silver’s Dead Island: Riptide, the follow-up to its 2011 zombie survival game, holds on as the UK Video Game Chart No.1 game for a second week with a 32 per cent drop week-on-week.

Warner’s Injustice: Gods Among Us also holds at No.2 – down 40 per cent week-on-week – followed by Tomb Raider which climbs two places to No.3. FIFA 13 also continues to shift additional copies, moving up three places to No.4 thanks to a 13 per cent rise in sales.

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen slides two places to No.5 on its second week, and Star Trek falls from No.4 to No.10 on the week on the film’s release.

Sony’s Soul Sacrifice is the week’s only new entry, but the PS Vita action game failed to make much of an impact at No.26.

This week’s new releases are slim, with Persona 4 Arena and Telltale’s The Walking Dead the highlights. The episodic zombie title could perform well given its strong word of mouth and low retail price, but many gamers will have already picked it up digitally.
