UK Video Game Chart: Dead Space 2 Scares Competition

Normally in space, nobody can hear you scream. Or so Ridley Scott said (maybe). In space (probably). But on Friday a whole lot of people heard Isaac Clarke scream as Dead Space 2 frightens its way to the top of the UK All-Formats Video Game Chart.

{NE} - 1 - Dead Space 2 - EA
{1} - 2 - LittleBigPlanet 2 - Sony
{4} - 3 - FIFA 11 - EA
{5} - 4 - Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood - Ubisoft
{2} - 5 - Call of Duty: Black Ops - Acti/Blizz
{3} - 6 - Just Dance 2 - Ubisoft
{10} - 7 - Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - EA
{6} - 8 - Wii Fit Plus - Nintendo
{RE} - 9 - Art Academy - Nintendo
{RE} - 10 - Just Dance - Ubisoft

Visceral's horror sequel means that Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet 2 has to settle for second place this week, while last week's #2 - Call of Duty: Black Ops - drops to #5. Just Dance 2 sees a similar fall, from #3 to #6, but their losses are EA and Ubisoft's gains as FIFA 11 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood climb a position each.

The chart rounds off with two re-entries in Nintendo's Art Academy and the original Just Dance.
