EA Sports FIFA 11 has kicked off 2011 at the top of the All Formats All Prices UK video game chart, despite strong competition from Ubisoft’s Just Dance 2 which climbed to No.2.

With no new game releases to speak of, it was a chance for previously released titles to make a move. Wii Fit Plus jumped from No.13 to No.5, Art Academy makes a chart re-entry at No.11, EA Sports Active 2 jumps back into the chart at No.13 and Mass Effect 2 benefits from aggressive retailer pricing to place at No.18.

This is also the first time since launch that Call of Duty: Black Ops has charted outside the first two places, having to settle for third place.
