The Last of Us

It looks like it’s going to take something bigger than a Bloater to knock The Last of Us off its perch atop the UK sales charts. The title has retained its place at the best-sellers summit for a fourth consecutive week, proving that new properties can succeed at the end of a generation. It’s the first chart-topper of the year to enjoy four weeks at the peak, as both BioShock: Infinite and Dead Island: Riptide only managed three apiece.

Elsewhere, it was a familiar story, with FIFA 13 and Assassin’s Creed III fleshing out the top five. Tomb Raider snuck in at sixth, while Call of Duty: Black Ops II fired into seventh. Meanwhile, Deadpool slipped into ninth, as Far Cry 3 continued its summer vacation in tenth. You can peruse the full list of movers and shakers through here.
