Batman : Arkham Knight dethrone Lego Jurassic Park to take top spot in UK charts.

A week is a long time in the gaming industry and it was only last week when Lego Jurassic Park gained top place from The Elder Scrolls Online. A week later and it is already knocked to second-place due to the release of the hit Batman: Arkham Knight, which has taken massive sales. Batman’s first week sales have surpassed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and according to UK sales monitor Chart-Track, makes it the fastest selling game of the year so far.

The recently released Yoshi’s Woolly World also makes a appearance, taking fourth-place. The full UK top ten for the week are as followed:

1. Batman: Arkham Knight
2. Lego Jurassic World
3. The Elder Scrolls Online
4. Yoshi’s Woolly World
5. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
6. Grand Theft Auto V
7. Call of Duty: Advance Warfare
8. FIFA 15
9. Destiny
10. Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward

LEGO Jurassic World

Roles reversed as both games switched places on their debut week last week. LEGO Jurassic World knocked Elder Scrolls Online off the top spot in the UK video games chart. Hollywood blockbuster, Jurassic World, debuted on 11th June 2015, which has undoubtedly aided in the LEGO game’s success. The franchise has gained seven no.1’s since LEGO Star Wars kicked it all off, way back in 2005! It may be just another LEGO game, but in Jurassic World you can play as dinosaurs, which most probably also has something to do with the game’s immediate soar up the charts.

You can check out the official game-play trailer for LEGO Jurassic World below. Although we very much enjoy Elder Scrolls Online, we can see how it may be a little difficult when you’re up against being able to play as a dinosaur!

The Order: 1886

The Victorian Steampunk-inspired game hits the No.1 spot in UK chart!

I am ecstatic about this news… Over the moon, in fact! The PS4 exclusive has managed to blast it’s way into the No.1 spot in the UK chart, despite having a bit of a rocky launch regarding it’s short campaign length. This triumph marks the very first time that Sony’s in-house team has created a chart-topping title since August 2014, with The Last of Us Remastered. Adding to this, being a widely promoted title may have also had something to do with the game’s success.. As well as looking and sounding incredible.

Due to this, a 66% drop in sales led to 2K Games’ Evolve to plummet from the top spot and down into third, just behind Activision’s long-standing shooter Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Promotions in retail for Far Cry 4 bring this game up to fourth place. Unfortunately, due to a 70% drop in sales, Majora’s Mask 3D (remastered for Nintendo 3DS) has dropped from second place to eighth!

Here are the current top ten in the UK chart. Do you agree with where they stand?…

1) The Order: 1886

2) Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

3) Evolve

4) Far Cry 4

5) Grand Theft Auto V

6) FIFA 15

7) Minecraft: Xbox Edition

8) Zelda Majora’s Mask 3D

9) Minecraft: PlayStation Edition

10) Destiny

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Legendary first person shooter receives Christmas No.1 spot in the UK chart!

Now we all knew that this was coming and, sure enough, the COD franchise has done it and taken the Christmas No.1 spot in the UK all-formats chart with ‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’. Thanks to a PS4 bundle promotion, the game overtook FIFA 15 in the eleventh hour!

Activision’s shooter series has now topped the UK Christmas chart on five separate occasions.. Wow! FIFA 15 was the clear frontrunner, but has now dropped into second place. 

Amazingly, a 97% surge in sales managed to see ‘Assassin’s Creed: Unity’ into fifth place. ‘The Crew’ also saw a similar push and has taken the sixth spot, as retailers lowered the game’s price by at least £15.

Below are the final top ten all-format games which made it in!

1. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

2. FIFA 15

3. Grand Theft Auto V

4. Far Cry 4

5. Assassin’s Creed: Unity

 Alien: Isolation at No.2 in UK chart
FIFA 15 still holds first place in the UK chart and won’t be scared off by Alien: Isolation..

It seems that the latest survival-horror game from SEGA hasn’t pushed enough to send FIFA 15 screaming into the sunset!

Alien: Isolation has debuted in at No.2 in the UK chart with FIFA 15 still holding first place. EA’s world famous football franchise is now it’s third week in the No.1 spot and even held it’s ground when Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor entered in last week at No.2, which has now dropped to third to make room for Alien: Isolation.

Some critics have praised the game for capturing the horror of Ridley Scott’s iconic film, while others have stated that there were certain problems holding it back, which were unavoidable. Having said this, the 2013 game Aliens: Colonial Marines jumped in at first place despite being widely panned by critics.

The current top ten in the UK chart are as follows:

1. FIFA 15
2. Alien: Isolation
3. Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor
4. Forza Horizon 2
5. DriveClub
6. Destiny
7. Skylanders Trap Team
8. NBA 2K15
9. Smash Bros. for 3DS
10. Minecraft: PlayStation Edition
