UK Top 20 Charts: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Sneaks Past Max Payne 3
Debutant over debutant – Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier took over the reigns at the top spot from Rockstar’s Max Payne 3 this week as it pipped Max who dropped to second after it’s debut at the top last week. The other two releases, Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma and Codemaster’s DiRT Showdown also made strong summer starts coming in at a high 3rd and 4th – EA’s FIFA 12 was the only game at number 5 after their lasting monopoly in previous weeks. FIFA Street is also the only one within the Top 10 but outside the top 5. DIablo III Dropped seven places to 9th whilst Sniper Elite V2 settles two places down to 6th.
Nintendo’s Mario Open Tennis Debuted outside of the Top 10 at number 11 for the sole 3DS title to make it inside the Top 20 whilst Activision’s other game Call of Duty: Black Ops sees a surprising resurgence in the charts at number 14, behind Battlefield 3 (12) though in front of last year’s bigshots Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, Mass Effect 3 and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. THQ’s Saints Row: The Third rounds off this weeks charts.
