Strangely - given the reviews of both games - the re-boot of Eidos' stealth "classic" Thief has stopped the LEGO Movie game tie-in from taking another week at the #1 spot.

Chart-Track, which collates the chart has this to say: "Square Enix take their second All Formats No1 in 2014 as Thief takes top spot. Developed by Eidos Montreal it smashes the week 1 of predecessor Thief: Deadly Shadows last seen on Xbox & PC in 2004. It also achieves the second highest sales for a No1 title in 2014 behind FIFA 14 with 75% of those sales coming for Xbox One & PS4. The Lego Movie Videogame (-33%) drops to No2 after two weeks at the top but stays ahead of FIFA 14 (-15%) which drops to No3.

"Another debutant lands at No4 this week as Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare arrives for both Xbox One & 360. It pushes Call of Duty: Ghosts’(-36%) down to No5 while the third of EA’s Top 10 titles [i]Battlefield 4 (-17%) also slides two places to No6. Konami’s Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is another newcomer this week creeping in at No10 and becoming the second biggest week 1 in the franchise behind the original Lords of Shadow which released in 2010. Elsewhere in the Top 40 Bandai Namco’s Tales of Symphonia: Chronicles is new for PS3 at No13 while 3DS title Senran Kagura Burst sneaks in for a debut at No38."
