UK Chart: Alien: Isolation Doesn't Scare Off FIFA 15

Sega's survival horror title Alien: Isolation has debuted at second spot in the UK all format chart, with FIFA 15 holding first.

Electronic Arts' money-spinning soccer series is now in its third week at the top of the chart, having already held the spot from Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, which entered at second last week.

Shadow of Mordor now drops to third to make way for Alien: Isolation, which was developed by UK studio The Creative Assembly and generated mixed reviews upon release. Some outlets praised the game for capturing the horror of Ridley Scott's iconic film while other critics, including GameSpot's, suggested there were unavoidable problems holding it back.

By contrast, the 2013 game Aliens: Colonial Marines was widely panned by critics yet jumped in at first.

Xbox One's racer Forza Horizon 2 drops down a notch to forth, ahead of the PlayStation 4 racer Driveclub, which at the time of writing is burdened by numerous server issues.

Another new release is Skylanders Trap Team, which enters at seventh. Though individual sales figures are unavailable, the series appears to be having less impact at retail, with last year's edition (Skylanders Swap Force) debuting at third, while in 2012 the Skylanders Giants game jumped in at second.

New release NBA 2K15 enters at ninth, while Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition hits thirteenth.

The top ten is as follows:

1. FIFA 15
2. Alien: Isolation
3. Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor
4. Forza Horizon 2
5. DriveClub
6. Destiny
7. Skylanders Trap Team
8. NBA 2K15
9. Smash Bros. for 3DS
10. Minecraft: PlayStation Edition
