GRID 2 leads UK chart, Insomniac's Fuse barely registers 37th

Codemasters’ GRID 2 has drifted onto the UK all format chart and pinched 1st place, which bests the original that five years ago debuted 2nd. However launch sales are 29% less than its predecessor.

FIFA 13 hogged 2nd, followed by Dead Island: Riptide, Far Cry 3 and Resident Evil: Revelations. The only other new entry was Fuse, which nearly fizzled out as it just managed to register at 37.

Fuse is Insomniac’s first multiplatform title, which hasn’t faired so well with a metacritic score in the mid-60s.
