UK Games Charts: 18/06/12

FIFA is a bit of a chart-climbing machine, isn’t it? The football game is back at number one despite not having sold all that many copies, relatively. This marks 38 weeks in the top five for EA’s biggest sports game.

FIFA’s chart success this week is largely due to less competition, which means that Lollipop Chainsaw’s ridiculous marketing barrage of upskirt shots and sticky cheerleaders might not have been a roaring success. Still, fourth place isn’t bad for a game which doesn’t feature sports or men in combat gear shouting at each other.

The other new release in the top 20 is Vita’s Gravity Rush which makes it to number eleven. Not bad at all for the 29th boxed Vita game released this year.
