Batman: Arkham City

This Week's UK X360 Top 20 Charts
Written Monday, October 24, 2011 By Richard Walker

Batman: Arkham City makes its mark on the charts this week, as the fourth biggest launch this year after Gears of War 3, FIFA 12 and LA Noire, Rocksteady's sequel can be considered a major triumph for the Bat. It's a well-deserved number one for the Dark Knight too. Read our Arkham City review to find out why.

With Batman now occupying the top spot, Forza 4 gets knocked down a place, and FIFA 12 nestles into third despite a 35% decline in sales for the week. Gears 3 holds fast at 4, while Rage drops a couple of notches. Dead Island meanwhile, gains a few places, as does Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Dark Souls loses massive ground this week though, and it's disappointing first week debuts for Dance Central 2 and The Sims 3 Pets, which come in at number 17 and 20 respectively. Take a look at this week's top 20 charts for the full story:

Just as I expected. I don't think it'll stay though, BF3 is out tomorrow in the US... A shame, really. Too many good games, and not enough time to play them.

@8 Hey homegirl if you like Just dance the you want to get your booty on Dance Central 2. you need an eyetoy to be able to play it but it's much better for getting down.

Well deserved sales for Arkham City! I wonder what these charts will look like though, once we start seeing price reductions due to the vast number of games being released??
