UK Top 40: UFC Undisputed 3 claims number one

But where's Tekken 3D?

THQ brawler UFC Undisputed 3 entered the UK all-format charts in first place, holding off FIFA 12 in second.

UFC3 is the first game from troubled publisher THQ to hit the top-spot since last year's Homefront, although UFC3 sold less at launch than previous entry, UFC 2010.

Tekken 3D: Prime Edition, last week's other newcomer, failed to enter the top 40 altogether. It's nowhere to be found on the 3DS specific top 10, either. The fact that retailers Game and Gamestation did not stock Tekken 3D probably didn't help.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, last week's number one, tumbled all the way into 12th place.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was third, while Mario & Sonic: London 2012 Olympics rocketed up to fourth.

Battlefield 3 was fifth, followed respectively by Final Fantasy 13-2, Skylanders, The Darkness 2, Skyrim and Just Dance 3.

The full top 40 lies below.
