Getting tricky with it

EA Sports’ hotly anticipated SSX reboot has tricked its way to the top of the UK charts, knocking last week’s winner, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, into fourth place.

It marks the best debut for an SSX game ever, with the franchise’s previous frontrunner, SSX 3, only managing to skid into third position. Needless to say there’ll be a few bottles of champagne being glugged at EA this morning.

Elsewhere, FIFA 12 sprinted into second position, making it a decidedly sporty affair on the UK charts this week. It was joined by the PS Vita release FIFA Football in eighth, and UFC Undisputed 3 in sixth.
