2 Total War: Rome II
3 Diablo III
4 Splinter Cell: Blacklist
5 Disney Infinity
6 Minecraft Xbox 360
7 Payday 2
8 Killzone: Mercenary
9 Rayman Legends
10 Farming Simulator

1 new KILLZONE: MERCENARY SONY COMPUTER ENT. - 1
2 new RAYMAN LEGENDS UBISOFT - 1
3 ASSASSIN'S CREED III LIBERATION UBISOFT 2 45
4 FIFA 13 EA SPORTS 1 50
5 NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED EA GAMES 3 45
