Test Drive takes the lead

Atari with a rare number one
Bengt Lemne 15 February 2011

Namco Bandai claimed their first UK number one since taking over Atari Europe's distribution network and Test Drive Unlimited 2 became the first Atari branded title since we don't know as this week's list of top sellers was revealed. Beating out last week's number Dead Space 2, Test Drive Unlimited 2 relied heavily on sales of the Xbox 360 version (68 %) to take top spot, but PS3 (28 %) and PC (4 %) contributed as well. Dead Space 2 sales fell 51 % in its second week, but stayed ahead of long time chart dominants FIFA 11, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Mario had a good week as both Mario Sports Mix and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem climbed a few places, while Little Big Planet 2 fell five places to tenth. A bit further down Madden NFL 11 re-entered the chart, no doubt thanks to interest peaking with the Super Bowl.
