South Park: The Stick of Truth tops UK charts
There are no surprises in the UK top 20 this week as South Park: The Stick of Truth goes straight in at number one.
It’s reassuring to see the game, which has had such a warm welcome, brighten up the charts. It’s also the only new entry, although Forza 5 does re-enter at 16.
Apart from that it’s business as usual with last year’s big hitters playing musical chairs, disturbed only by Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and Thief hanging around in the top five.
As always, let’s turn our Aliens: Colonial Marines. This week it’s UP three places to 14. Can someone please offer an explanation?

We have a favour to ask
Thumbsticks has a couple of main aims. We want to write interesting articles and cover games that most outlets won't, and we want to give opportunities to new writers and new voices. And right now, with the current state of online publishing? It's tough! We hate to ask, but if you want us to continue writing what others won't, or to keep covering weird indie games, or to be able to give opportunities to new writers – and only if you can afford it – then please consider supporting us on Patreon.
