Amalur beats Darkness II to number one

[wraggster]

After so many weeks of FIFA dominance there's another change at the top, as RPG Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning charged in to number one, pushing Final Fantasy XIII-2 down to second place. Another new entry, The Darkness 2, took third.

The only new entry in the top 20 this week was Catherine, which sneaked in at 20. Not a bad result for a niche puzzle-platformer.

Elsewhere Mario & Sonic London 2012 Olympic Games made a surprise return to the top end of the chart, shooting up from 29 to 10. Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure also managed to move up from 22 to 14.
