Electronic Arts seems to be doing well out of the games industry's sales crisis in the UK. Probably because it's the only bugger big enough to actually get its wares noticed these days. Whatever the reason, the kick-flicker FIFA Street has reclaimed the top spot of the UK Video Game Chart, slapping previous #1 Kinect Star Wars down to #4.
And just to make the fancy footballer feel more at home, it is joined by Mass Effect 3 and FIFA 12, which also jump up a place in the Top 10. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 is a non-mover at #5, Battlefield 3 leapfrogs Mario & Sonic and SSX clings on to #10 - meaning that EA controls 60% of the chart right now.
Sadly, it's not a good week for new releases - the only new entry being Nintendo's core gamer-centric RPG, Pandora's Tower, which debuts at #38.
