This week’s UK Games chart is pretty much the same as it’s been this year, mainly due to a lack of new releases. Newcomer DmC has dropped to fourth place after just one week on top of the chart, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II reclaims the top spot followed by FIFA 13 in second place.
Newcomer DmC: Devil May Cry has entered the UK Games chart in top position this week pushing down FIFA 13 and Call of Duty: Black Ops II to second and third place, respectively.

The rest of the chart is pretty static, with Far Cry 3, Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Assassin’s Creed III still in the Top 10.
After spending weeks on top of the UK Chart, Call of Duty: Black Ops II has finally lost its top spot to Far Cry 3.

In fact, Black Ops II has dropped to third place, with FIFA 13 climbing to second position.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II has continued selling well right through Christmas, staying in the top spot for another week. Call of Duty: Black Ops II is officially the number one Christmas game, beating off Far Cry 3 and Hitman: Absolution yet again.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II continues to dominate the UK sales Chart as we edge closer to the Christmas period. With just a few weeks to to until 2012 is over, Black Ops II looks likely to keep hold of the all-important top spot and become one of this year’s biggest selling games. In other movements, Hitman: Absolution has climbed right up from 6th to 2nd.
