There's a new number one in this week's UK sales charts, with The Last of Us relinquishing its hold on the top spot. Naughty Dog's survival-horror epic couldn't make it seven weeks in a row, and his been pipped to the post by the Xbox 360 edition of Minecraft after a 74% surge in sales saw the voxel-based game pass TLoU and hold off advances from debuting titles.

Pikmin 3 couldn't get passed Minecraft, but did manage to chart higher than The Last of Us, landing as it did in second. Animal Crossing: New Leaf remained in fourth, and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. stayed in the top five, meaning three of the five best selling games last week were Nintendo exclusives.

REVIEW. Written by Jesper Karlsson | GR Sweden

"I would like to compare Minecraft to my favourite TV show of all times - Seinfeld. It's a game about nothing."
