Watch Dogs Had Better Watch Out; Minecraft Looking To Claim The Top Spot In The UK Video Games Charts

Those Dogs had better Watch out, Minecraft is coming for them.

Watch Dogs, the Ubisoft game which allows players to pretend to be leet hackerz, which has been at or near the top of the charts since its release last month, remains the king for now. However, nipping at its heels is the Minecraft For Xbox 360. The game that will not die, not that it has absolutely any reason to.

The brick world creator game jumped three spots from #6 to #3, just behind FIFA 14. The end of the World Cup hasn't cooled demand, the football game was #2 last week, but can it hold back Minecraft? After all, why play someone else's football club when you can just make your own?

The long, hazy, lazy days of summer are certainly having an effect on game buying. Both Minecrafts rose in ranks, though the PS3 version only went from 7 to 6, and The Lego Movie Video Game leapfrogged seven places from 12 to 5 to put itself in the top 10 for the first time. School kids need something to do that does not involve going outside in these dog days of summer, after all.

Mario Kart 8 slipped out of the top 10 to #16, presumably because everybody already owned a copy. Grand Theft Auto V on the other hand, found itself back amongst the elite, climbing up to #7 from its previous position at #11.

Everybody was too busy playing the Destiny beta to pay attention to Call of Duty: Ghosts. The FPS came in at #3 last week, but finds itself clinging to relevance at the nine spot today.

Only two new titles managed to crack the top 20. Terraria, the side-scrolling retro pseudo-world builder and Pokemon Black.

You can find the full list of titles over at Ukie. As always, to the victors go the video. Watch Watch Dogs!
