UK Top 10 Games: 18th February 2013

This week, despite bad reviews, Aliens: Colonial Marines manages to take the top spot knocking Dead Space 3 down one place to No. 2. The game has been in development hell for the last six years, but still hopes were high that it could be the first truly excellent Aliens game. Aliens fans will just have to keep waiting I suppose...

Elsewhere, Assassin's Creed III re-enters the Top 10 climbing from No. 12 to No. 6 and Halo 4 manages a similar jump climbing from No. 13 to No. 10.

This week's biggest drop came from Studio Ghibli and Level 5's Ni No Kuni which after a strong debut falls 19 places this week from No. 6 to No. 25. Still the title seems to be doing fairly well for a Playstation-exclusive.

There were no other new entries this week, however the DS's Super Scribblenauts does re-enter the Top 40 at No. 29 due to a price drop - it can be found for under £10 at some retailers. So if you're running out of things to play on Nintendo's last-gen handheld, that could be a bargain to see you through for a while.

Here's the Top 10 in full:

1. (-) Aliens: Colonial Marines
2. (1) Dead Space 3
3. (2) FIFA 13
4. (3) Call of Duty: Black Ops II
5. (4) Far Cry 3
