Considering ten days ago virtually everyone expected Until Dawn to flop, the Supermassive Games developed schlock horror has enjoyed something of a surprise turnaround. The game entered the UK sales charts this week in second, just one spot behind Gears of War: Ultimate Edition – which is obviously both cheaper and based upon an established brand. Not bad from the PlayStation 4 exclusive.
Disney Infinity 3.0 entered in third, while Madden NFL 16 touched down in fourth, as it was all change in the top five. Familiar faces did round out the remainder of the list, with LEGO Jurassic World, Grand Theft Auto V, Minecraft, and Batman: Arkham Knight padding out the top ten – but there was room for Dishonored: Definitive Edition in seventh.
Of course, all of these games are just keeping the chart warm while Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain bides its time. What have you been spending your money on of late? Cough up in the comments section below.

The PS4 is gonna have an extensive catalogue of brilliant games like the PS1 and PS2.
As I say every week - who's still buying Minecraft???
I popped into GAME at around 10am on Until Dawn's release day to pick it up for a horror movie night with some friends (which fittingly coincided with the passing of Wes Craven) and I was told that it was the last copy in the shop. Surprising for a game nobody was talking about.
I've played about 1.5 hours of it so far and it's great.
@AirFive352 I love it and jumped a few times so far
This game was surprisingly good. I didn't expect it to be worth a purchase so I rented it. It's great for couch co-op and yelling at each other over decisions. I swayed the group to make a decision that ultimately killed off my favorite character, and I didn't hear the end of it for the rest of the game.
Loving the game, have the last chapter to do tonight after starting and playing all day yesterday. Great to play through without any guides etc as I feel it'll have awesome replay value. I'll be coming back to this once every few months just to see what results I come up with.
I was gonna pass on this until the reviews came out and I'm so glad I didn't. Loving it so far, only on chapter 3 but got a couple of days off now to get cracking with it. @ztpayne7 the couch co-op idea sounds like fun may have to try that on my second play through.
More to the point has the Disney Infinity bubble burst or have people realised how much better Lego Dimensions looks
@carlos82 Yeah it's pretty great. I thought I almost messed up once because I hadn't been put in high risk moments before and I didn't know which button to press, but it actually turned out good and taught us that sometimes doing nothing in a situation is better.
It makes you realise how little many of those games must sell if Madden can be #4 in the UK. We must be talking 4 digit figures here, surely.
