Gears of War: Judgement finishes first, but can’t match the success of Gears of War 3.

Gears of War: Judgment has emerged top of the UK charts in its first week on sale, pushing Tomb Raider down to second place.

While Gears of War: Judgment topped the chart, Gears of War 3 sold more than four times as many copies back in its opening week in September 2011.

Activision’s The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, an FPS based on the AMC TV show that’s just about to conclude its third season, debuts in third place.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, which released last week on 3DS and Wii U, lands in seventh place, behind FIFA 13, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2, and God of War: Ascension.

55 per cent of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate’s sales were on 3DS, with 45 per cent going to the Wii U.

Rounding out the top 10 is SimCity in eighth, Far Cry 3 is ninth, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II is tenth.

Other chart movement sees StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm drop twenty places to 23rd, and Aliens: Colonial Marines creep up from 21st to 16th. Nintendo Land also enters the UK chart for the first time in 2013 at 39th.
