UK Games Charts: 10/09/12

Square’s love affair with Hong Kong cinema returns to the top spot this week, despite a significant drop in sales of 42 per cent. It beats out EA’s Sims standalone expansion, Supernatural. That expansion is the only new release to make an appearance and, with Guild Wars 2 slipping to sixth, everything else in the top five is in the same position as last week.

Madden is selling well for a niche sports game (in the UK, at least) and holding on well at number seven. That’s ahead of the resurgent GotY edition of Dead Island and Activision’s evergreen Modern Warfare 3.
