UK Charts: Tomb Raider in at Number One
It doesn’t take a lot to guess the number one game in the UK Video Game charts these days, a new release usually takes the prize, but rarely is a game so deserving of the top spot as Tomb Raider.
If you’ve read our review, you’ll know that the game is absolutely phenomenal, and – like DmC – if you’ve played it, the likelihood is you’ll already hoping for an announcement on a second game; it’s that good.
In other chart-related news, however, Crysis 3 drops to 6th place, whilst Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance drops to 9th. SimCity enters in 2nd place, which proves that people really want to play that game, so it’s a pity there are still, even now, some issues.
Namco Bandai will be super pleased too, as Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 enters in third place!
As is the norm here, you can click the name of the game for our review.

I’m glad SimCity isn’t number one. Serves EA right.
