Beats off the challenge of first person shooter RAGE

FIFA 12, the EA Sports made football simulation, has managed to stay at the top of the United Kingdom video game chart for the second week in a row and seems destined to hold on to the position until the launch of Battlefield 3 or maybe even Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

FIFA 12 has received glowing reviews after launch, with most gamers talking about the new Player Impact Engine and about the changes made to the presentation and the season game mode.

RAGE, the first person shooter from id Software and Bethesda Softworks, has managed to get into second place during its first week on sale, despite the fact that the PC version of the game has been reported as having a lot of problems with graphics drivers.

Dark Souls, the action and role play mix from From Software and Namco Bandai, has taken third place in the United Kingdom during its first week on sale, showing that even a gaming experience that is self described as hardcore can be commercially successful.

Gears of War 3, a former number one, has fallen on hard times and has slid down two places to reach four while F1 2011, the Formula One simulation from Codemasters, shows that it still has some fuel left in the sales tank by sitting in fifth place.

Surprisingly Zumba Fitness, the mix between exercise and dancing from 505 Games, has also fallen some places to occupy sixth this week with Dead Island, the zombie battling action game from Deep Silver, coming in at number seven.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution from Square Enix and Eidos Montreal is in eight place, with players waiting for the Missing Link DLC, while LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean in ninth.

Resistance 3 from Sony have managed to stake a comeback from 13 to close down the top ten.
