Batman: Arkham Asylum has debuted atop the UK all formats chart during the week ended August 29, in the process becoming publisher Eidos’ biggest all formats number one since Who Wants To Be A Millionaire back in 2000.

Sales of the Rocksteady Studios developed title were split fairly evenly across Xbox 360 (55 per cent) and PS3 (45 per cent), with a PC version set to hit shops in a few weeks.

Wii Sports Resort fell one place to second, while Ashes Cricket 2009 held third. Last week’s number two, Wolfenstein, dropped two spots, and Wii Fit one position to number five.

Two Call Of Duty titles also made the top ten, along with Mario Kart Wii, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and Lego Batman: The Videogame.

Bethesda's new expansion pack Fallout 3: Game Add-On Pack 2 entered the chart at number 20.

01. Batman: Arkham Asylum (Eidos)
02. Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo)
03. Ashes Cricket 2009 (Codemasters)

I wonder when this game makes its way to Russia, if at all. Anyway, I had it pre-ordered from Hong Kong since July - can't wait to start playing!

Nice to see Eidos' swansong as a publisher go out on a high. Sniff, we'll miss you Eidos.
