Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (http://joystiq.com/game/kingdoms-of-amalur-reckoning) kicks off life atop the UK charts, which is not a bad place to begin a fateless destiny. This is the first new intellectual property to reach the top spot since Dead Island (another surprise hit) back in week 37 of last year, according to Chart-Track (http://www.chart-track.co.uk/?i=1273&s=1111). But, wait, here's where it gets crazy: you have to go back to the year 2000 (the first Pokemon game) to find an original RPG winning the week.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 slipped one spot into second, with Darkness 2 premiering in third. The top of the charts are actually stacked with "core" titles this week, with Mario & Sonic London at the 2012 Olympic Games being the closest "family" title. Certainly not a "family" game is Catherine, which debuted in the 20 spot. Check out the UK top ten after the break.Continue reading Reckoning rules UK sales chart (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/13/reckoning-rules-uk-sales-chart/)
