BioShock Infinite maintains its lofty altitude in the UK all format chart as it keeps 1st place, while Tomb Raider keeps on surviving 2nd. Trion Worlds' Defiance, a TV series-based IP, has entered 3rd.

FIFA 13 is still dribbling 4th while Need for Speed: Most Wanted has climbed back into the top 10. Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption: GOTY launched 40th. Not bad for Trion's Defiance.
