Square Enix and Eidos Montreal's Deus Ex: Human Revolution has surgically augmented itself into the British gamers' heart, tossing out Zumba Fitness.

Rugby World Cup 2011 entered 3rd, just behind Zumba. LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean fell 4th, while Call of Duty: Black Ops busted through 5th, up from 18th.


From retailer sales, Deus Ex: Human Revolution sold 57 percent on Xbox 360, 31 percent on PlayStation 3 and just 13 percent on PC - however these don't count digital sales which obviously boost the PC significantly in the mighty pie chart wars.

Human Revolution is but a mere 26k copies from besting lifetime sales of Deus Ex: Invisible War. The Eidos Montreal developed prequel instalment is a major hit and Square Enix has just unleashed a rather cryptic message to owners of the game to be solved.

Below is the UK all format chart top 20 for the week ending August 27th.

That was to be expected, but the next three months will see big changes to the charts as the heavy hitters start to roll out.
