UK Video Games Charts: Tomb Raider Beats God of War
Despite a masssssss-hh0000-sive 72% week-on-week drop in sales the 2013 incarnation of the Tomb Raider series (aka, the "Creation Myth") still manages to make God of War: Ascension, Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm and Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 (the new entries) look small and shy in comparison.

Frankly, it's quite a good looking chart right now. Check it out.

{01} - 01 - Tomb Raider - Square Enix
{NE} - 02 - God of War: Ascension - Sony
{NE} - 03 - Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm - Activision Blizzard
{NE} - 04 - Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 - City Interactive
{02} - 05 - SimCity - Electronic Arts
{05} - 06 - FIFA 13 - Electronic Arts
{08} - 07 - Far Cry 3 - Ubisoft
{06} - 08 - Crysis 3 - Electronic Arts
{07} - 09 - Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Activision Blizzard
{04} - 10 - The Sims 3: University Life - Electronic Arts

"Activision Blizzard and developer Blizzard Entertainment round off the No3 spot with StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. The PC title shares something in common with current chart topper Tomb Raider being another "Event" title with a Tuesday launch. There's also a debut at No4 as City Interactive return with Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2. In its first week it doesn[/i]t break the Top 3 however it does top its predecessor which has never climbed higher than No8 in our All Formats chart.

"Three new titles in our top 4 means last week's No2 SimCity (-50%) drops to No5 ahead of FIFA 13 (-14%) at No6. Ubisoft's Far Cry 3 (-3%) climbs a spot to No7 above EA's Crysis 3 (-42%) which slips to No8. Call of Duty: Black Ops II (-14%) drops to No9 while The Sims 3: University Life (-57%) which made its debut at No4 last week slides to No10."

All the charts are over here.
