The continued success of Team GB at the London 2010 Olympic Games is doing wonders for SEGA’s official video game of the games, with sales up a huge 88 per cent week on week securing a second week at No.1.

The Top 3 remain unchanged, with London 2012 being followed by LEGO Batman 2 at No.2 and Mario & Sonic London 2012 at No.3.

Batman’s popularity doesn’t end with LEGO either, with Warner’s Arkham City up to No.4. Skyrim takes fifth place.

Deep Silver’s Risen 2: Dark Waters is new at No.14, beating the debut position of No.29 achieved by the original game back in week 40 of 2009.
