Alien: Isolation is showing less staying power than its peers, falling to sixth with a 70 percent drop in sales.

Codemasters latest Formula One title, F1 2014, debuts at tenth.

The full chart follows:

1. FIFA 15

London developer Sports Interactive said one of the biggest changes to the game is the new option to select what style of manager they want to be.

"Are you going to be a ‘tracksuit manager’ who spends much of their time on the training ground dealing directly with the players, or are they going to be a ‘tactical manager’, who spends more time concentrating on tactics and player recruitment?" reads a statement from publisher Sega.

"Or perhaps they’ll opt to be a mix of the two? This innovation means that, for the first time in the series, the manager is able to be on the training ground with the players."

Other additions FM2015 is bringing includes:

• Financial management
• Job interviews
• Manager history and profile
• Media interaction
• Player Roles
• Player search and scouting
• Preferred Player Movements (PPMs)
• Training

Football Manager is one of the most popular PC game series of all time. Recent calculations from Ars Technica suggested the game was the most played game on Steam (per user).

GameSpot -- 8/10

"If you're looking for football that is exciting, exaggerated, and immensely entertaining, FIFA 15 is the game to get." [Full review]

CVG -- 9/10

"FIFA 15 isn't perfect. There are still some quirky animations in here that occasionally burst the realism bubble. Keepers are still prone to howlers, and a number of goals still come from daft rebounds off their lanky frames. Also the Finesse Shot appears to have been nerfed in such a way we barely use it now, which is a real shame. But make no mistake, FIFA 15 is the best game of football around. EA has evolved its engine rather than revolutionised it, and it's worked a treat. But, with friends or without, FIFA 15 plays a rock solid game of football and looks destined for glory again." [Full review]

IGN -- 8.3/10

"FIFA 15 remains one of the most impressively comprehensive sport simulations around, and on new-gen hardware it really is the beautiful game. But while some of FIFA 15's refinements are worthwhile--and a tangible improvement on FIFA 14--its flaws stand out all the more. In some ways it's a step forward, in others a step back--and with Konami's PES seemingly in resurgent form, EA Sports can't afford to take its eye off the ball." [Full review]

Game Informer -- 9.25/10

"The FIFA franchise has gone from a game that was huge because of the de facto effect of its numerous licenses to a title that stands tall thanks to its own abilities. FIFA 15 takes the series into a whole other level with gameplay that betters the surmounting hype that threatened to engulf it. Playing it makes me believe I can do just about anything with the ball at my feet, and this self-assurance is powerful. If you have the desire, FIFA 15 meets the challenge. It does not disappoint." [Full review]

GamesRadar -- 4.5/5

"Improvements largely concern presentation over play, but they're crucial in making you feel closer to the game than ever. The best football game just got better." [Full review]

Eurogamer -- 7/10

"EA can quite fairly claim to have again delivered the best football game ever made. But every year the developers seem to have less of an idea what that means." [Full review]

The Sixth Axis -- 9/10

"FIFA 15 is not quite the great leap forward that many would have hoped for but it's a bigger jump than it initially appears to be. The changes, although infuriating to begin with as they make you re-learn elements of your game, ultimately make for a more realistic game of football. There's more nuance, more fidelity in the tactical systems and there's greater movements from the players on the pitch. In a series that is synonymous with incremental improvements, FIFA 15 manages to feel like more of an evolutionary leap." [Full review]

Australians can get their soccer on with the release of FIFA 15 this week for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One,PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and 3DS. Australian player Tim Cahill will star on the cover alongside Lionel Messi.

EA has promised that the game will strive for even more realism, with the addition of shirt pulling, player-specific movement, and more finesse moves. Dribbling the ball will now take into account balance and positioning. In addition, there will be a number of new stutter and dodge moves which gives players more opportunities to beat defenders.

Players in-game will also act more like their real-life counterparts. For example, Lionel Messi will now favor his left foot as he does in person. The game will also feature the real-world goal-line technology that was used in this year's World Cup.

For those who would prefer to try the game out before picking up a copy, EA released a demo earlier this month. Xbox One owners were also given the opportunity to try the game early via EA Access a week ahead of the game's release. For more details on games out this week, check out the full list below.

Electronic Arts is giving Xbox One owners the chance to play the full version of FIFA 15 one week ahead of general release.

Those who subscribe to the EA Access service can play the soccer sim now for a total of six hours. Saved data and progress will also carry over once the full game is released.

"You can play all of the trial at once or spread your gaming over several days. Either way, you'll get regular updates letting you know how much time you have left," EA wrote on its website.

The publisher adds that the six-hour allowance is still being used if the game is running in the background on Xbox One. "Be sure to quit the game when you're not playing in order to maximize your game time," EA said.

FIFA 15 goes on general release on September 23 across North America, across Europe two days later and in the UK specifically on September 26. That means EA Access offers a six-hour introduction to the full game a week ahead of launch.

EA Access is a new $5/month games subscription service that, as well as granting users with early admission to its major releases, also features a growing list of games to play for free.

Free games on EA Access include Battlefield 4, Madden NFL 25, and Peggle 2. Customers have unlimited ownership of these titles for as long as their membership lasts.

Electronic Arts originally wanted the service to appear on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but Sonyrejected the membership deal.

Internal tests by GameSpot's editorial team suggested that the game has yet to appear on US consoles. EA has said the rollout process has begun, so content should unlock shortly.

Soccer may not be the most music-centric of sports, but that hasn't stopped EA sports from assembling a soundtrack for FIFA 15 comprised of more than two dozen songs.

If you're eager to hear what the game has in store, you don't have to wait for its release next Tuesday to get a sampling. Rather than simply release a tracklist, EA has put together a Spotify playlist that consists of 25 of the songs you'll find in the full game. You can listen below, or at Dash Radio, which will also be featuring live performances and interviews related to FIFA from now until the end of the month.

The soundtrack consists of both new tracks (including some from The Ting Tings and Eliphant), as well as existing songs from Death From Above 1979 and other groups.
