There’s a debut at No5 as developer Omega Force return with ‘Dynasty Warriors 8’ landing at No5. The latest instalment places 4th in the series best launch weeks behind Dynasty Warriors 6, 7 and Dynasty Warriors 5 - Empires. Ubisoft remain at No6 with ‘Far Cry 3’ (+4%) while retailer promotions for ‘Max Payne 3’ (+135%) see it climb nineteen places to No7. Strong sales for ‘The Elder Scrolls V: Legendary Edition’ (+31%) by Bethesda push it back into the Top 10 at No8. With the next edition on the horizon EA’s ‘FIFA 13’ (-43%) slips to its lowest position since launch (week 39 2012) dropping from No4 to No9. Square Enix round of the Top 10 with ‘Tomb Raider’ (-10%) sliding a spot to No10.
