It’s another good week for FIFA 13 as it takes a fourth consecutive week at the top of the all formats games chart, staving off competition from Activision Blizzard’s Skylanders Giants which makes an impressive entrance in the second slot confirming the brand’s popularity – its predecessor Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure only making its debut at 16th last year, despite going on to enjoy consistently strong sales.

Elsewhere Bethesda should be well pleased with Dishonored continuing to sell well at third and Doom 3: BFG Edition charting in fifth position after its first weekend on sale; while 007 Legends leaves the top ten feeling neither shaken or stirred as it bows in at twelfth.

Predictions for next week: Microsoft’s Forza Horizon and Nintendo’s Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask.
