Football more popular than monsters
Electronic ArtsFIFA 18is celebrating its third week at the number one spot in the U.K. Charts, having held off the debuts of bothMiddle-earth: Shadow of War, which comes in at number two, andThe Evil Within 2, which debuted at three.
The two new third-person adventures slammed into the Top Five, pushing back theForzaduo that made a huge impact last week. I am somewhat surprised thatShadow of Wardidn’t take the top spot, despite its numerous controversies, but it wasn’t to be, at least not this week.
There were few shake-ups to the chart standings aside from that. Survival horror titleFriday the 13thalso saw a physical release this week, debuting modestly at number fifteen.
