London 2012: The Video Game has overtaken LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes at the top of the all-format chart.

The opening of the Games has also benefited Mario & Sonic at the 2012 Olympics, which jumps from eight to three, knocking Ghost Recon: Future Soldier down one position in the process.



Elsewhere, despite the release of the 3DS XL over the weekend, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance falls four places to ten. Pokemon Conquest for the regular DS, meanwhile, makes its chart debut at 17.

Nintendo's latest handheld launch did impact Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land sales, however, helping the first-party games climb to 13 and 20 respectively.
