Warner’s LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes enters the All Formats All Prices UK video game chart at No.1, doing one better than its predecessor which charted at No.2 back in 2008.

FIFA 12 slips to No.2, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier drops to No.3 and Max Payne 3 falls to No.4. Battlefield 3 holds firm at No.5.

Last week’s new release, Lollipop Chainsaw, drops to No.6, whilst Skyrim jumps up to No.8 thanks to retailer promotions.

Civilization V: Gods and Kings is new at No.16.

LEGO Batman 2 could be the summer’s big hit, likely to hold strong whilst The Dark Knight Rises earns hundreds of millions at the box office.

Friday sees a flurry of new release, notably 2K’s Spec Ops: The Line, Activision’s The Amazing Spider-Man, and SEGA’s London 2012. There’s also PS Vita’s MGS HD and PS3’s Ratchet & Clank Trilogy.

Spec Ops certainly has the advertising behind it, but Spider-Man may just win out.
