It’s the start of the week meaning we get to take a look at this week’s top 20 gaming charts, as always these are UK sales charts. Let’s take a quick look and question the UK’s taste in games as usual.
Dead Island Riptide makes an impressive debut coming in at the top of the charts although sales are actually less than half its predecessor. Regardless it was still enough to knock Injustice Gods Among Us from the top of the charts, instead Injustice has to settle for the second spot.
Bioshock Infinite drops a couple of places but maintains a good position in the charts and the new Star Trek game appears to have also got to a good start. Brad is working his way through it at the moment and will bring a review soon.
Hint: It’s terrible.

The rest of the charts is once again the usual mix of titles we’ve come to expect, Luigi’s Mansion 2 continues to defy my expectations by sticking around the charts this long and even the new Lego City Undercover for 3DS cracks the top ten. Seems like the UK are starting to really get behind the 3DS which is good to hear. What isn’t cool is Aliens Colonial Marines returning to the charts, seriously are you guys stupid or something?
