Tomb Raider climbs the chart

Tomb Raider is this week's number one game, after pipping Sim City to the top spot in this week's sales chart.

Lara Croft's reboot has been confirmed as the biggest launch of the year so far, comfortably passing Sega's Aliens: Colonial Marines with more than twice as many sales.

Square Enix will be delighted that the reboot has sold so well, even better than the previous franchise best - Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.

Technical issues didn't stop Sim City from debuting in second, and The Sims 3: University Life came in fourth.

Namco Bandai's Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is third and EA's FIFA 13 hangs in for a top five finish (according to MCV).
