As we dim the lights on 2012, it’s time for one final chart update before the new year comes bounding up on us, and the number 1 spot is something of a surprise…
Well, it shouldn’t be really. The sheer awesomeness of Far Cry 3 has allowed it to climb back into the number one spot, overtaking Fifa 13 and Black Ops 2 in the process. With titles like Forza Horizon and Dishonored climbing back into the top 20, will the post-Christmas sales see the charts doing a big switcheroo in the coming weeks? Will that top 3 see an even bigger alteration? Will my new Year’s Resolution be ‘Never use the word ‘Switcheroo’ again? Only time will tell…
