The Last of Us is the UK’s No.1 for a third week running, holding off the retail release of Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition.
Sales of Naughty Dog’s survival adventure dropped by 35 per cent week-on-week, but the reduction wasn’t enough for Minecraft to pip it to the top spot, which debuts at No. 2 in the UK All-Formats Chart.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf falls a spot to No.3, as does FIFA 13 falling to No.4.
Other new entries this week include The Sims 3’s latest expansion pack The Sims 3: Island Paradise, which debuts at No.5, and Deadpool entering at No.6. PC RTS Company of Heroes 2 just manages a top 10 appearance, entering at No. 10.
Deep Silver’s biker brawler Ride To Hell: Retribution fails to make the Top 40 whatsoever, as does the console release of Painkiller: Hell & Retribution.
But there’s still a market out there for bad games, it seems. This week’s biggest climber is Aliens: Colonial Marines, re-entering the chart at No.19 following some retailer discounting.
The biggest faller, however, is MotoGP 13, falling a huge twenty-two places to No.37. Recent No.1 GRID 2 continues to fall, too, slipping another seven spots to No.17.
