Crysis 3 has managed to take the top spot in this week’s U.K. all formats chart, narrowly beating Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

According to sales monitor GfK Chart-Track, there was only a 5,500 unit difference between the two games, with Crysis 3 edging it due to having a PC release. 57 percent of Crysis 3 sales were on the Xbox 360. FIFA 13, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, and Aliens: Colonial Marines round out the top five.
