Sega's title enjoys the biggest launch week of 2013 so far

Aliens: Colonial Marines has shot its way to the top of the UK all formats chart.

We said in our Aliens: Colonial Marines review: “Gaming owes a lot to James Cameron's Aliens films, but despite having its DNA present in just about every science fiction game ever made, Aliens has struggled to get a proper one of its own in the past decade. Aliens: Colonial Marines continues this disappointing trend, making for an experience that's more Aliens: Resurrection than it is Aliens.”

Dead Space 3, which topped the UK chart last week, slipped to No.2 following Colonial Marines’ release, while FIFA 13, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Far Cry 3 rounded off the top five.
