Lego Batman 2 sets UK chart record for this year

Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes is the first game in 2012 to maintain the top spot in the UK's all-format software charts for five consecutive weeks.

London 2012: The Official Videogame has risen two places, while Batman: Arkham City has moved back into the top 10, likely as a result of buzz for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises.

Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance debuts at number six.

Here's the latest top 10 in the UK:

01. Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (Warner Bros)
02. London 2012: The Official Videogame (Sega)
03. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (Ubisoft)
04. The Amazing Spider-Man (Activision)
