Boomtown X

Last week was a good one for Electronic Arts. Crysis 2 remains at the top of the all formats chart with new entries Shift 2: Unleashed and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 entering the chart in fourth and sixth place respectively.

A great week for 505 Games too with Zumba Fitness sliding straight into second position. The week was less good for SCEE/Evolution Studios though as Motorstorm Apocalypse could only muster a chart entry of 17th, understandable though given the delay and interrupted marketing push.
