  • News UK Sales Charts: Borderlands 2 Shoots Its Way to the Top

    Are you surprised?

    Sleeping Dogs has finally been removed from its resting place atop the UK sales charts. New release Borderlands 2 shot straight to the summit, leaving fellow newcomer F1 2012 in its dust. The positively received Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 debuted in third, while Square Enix’s open world epic was forced to settle for fourth.

  • News UK Sales Charts: Sleeping Dogs Still Resting Atop Summit

    Wake up

    Not even Heihachi Mishima and family could displace the lethargic Sleeping Dogs in this week’s UK sales charts. The Square Enix published open world crime drama enjoyed a fourth stint at the top of the pile, with Tekken Tag Tournament 2 sitting just behind in second. LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes grapple-hooked its way back into third...

  • News Sleeping Dogs Reclaims UK Sales Charts Top Spot

    Sitting pretty

    United Front Games' excellent open world adventure Sleeping Dogs has reclaimed its place atop the UK sales charts.

It was a familiar story elsewhere...

  • News Vita Sales Have a Welcome Boost in Japan

    Getting back into the rhythm

    There's been a fair share of doom and gloom around Vita recently, with one consistent source of bad news coming from the Japanese charts. Thankfully, this week represents a reverse in the trend, with Sony doing well in the software chart and seeing a revival for its handheld in the hardware stakes. In the software...

  • News UK Sales Charts: Sleeping Dogs Dispatches Darksiders II

    Let 'em lie

    Hotly anticipated sequel Darksiders II was unable to displace the excellent Sleeping Dogs on this week’s UK sales charts. The Square Enix published open-world adventure enjoyed a second week at the top of the charts, after debuting in pole position just over seven days ago. It wasn’t all bad news for troubled publisher THQ however,...

  • News Sleeping Dogs Lies Atop UK Sales Charts

    True crime

    Sleeping Dogs has displaced former frontrunner London 2012 in the UK sales charts race. The title’s position will certainly rub salt into the wounds of previous publisher Activision, who canned the project in 2011 over fears it wouldn’t sell. The company’s executives will be dining on a hearty slice of humble pie tonight, we...

  • News UK Sales Charts: London 2012 Wins Third Gold Medal

    Simply the best

    London 2012 may have come to a stylish conclusion last night – we were particularly fond of Jessie J’s figure-hugging catsuit – but the success of the 30th Olympiad lives on courtesy of the UK sales charts this morning. SEGA’s decent athletics tie-in managed to hold onto its position at the top spot for a third week running,...

  • News UK Sales Charts: London 2012 Holds onto Gold

    Inspired

    SEGA’s decent London 2012 tie-in was never going to let Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah steal all the headlines this week, as it's held onto its position atop the UK sales charts for a second week running. Of course, it’s not especially surprising – the world has caught Olympics fever and, well, there’s nothing else coming out. Proving...

  • News UK Sales Charts: London 2012 Takes Podium Position

    Gold medal

    We predicted last week that London 2012 might finally overtake LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes on the UK sales charts – and we were spot on. The SEGA developed Olympic Games tie-in toppled TT Games’ bite-sized action adventure to take the gold medal, which it'll probably hold onto for the next couple of weeks.

  • News LEGO Batman 2 Maintains Grip on UK Sales Charts

    Top, er, bat

    LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes has scored a fifth consecutive week at the top of the UK sales charts. It was joined on the podium by SEGA’s London 2012 tie-in, which we suspect might have a chance at toppling the caped crusader when the Olympics start properly later this week. Ubisoft’s tactical third-person shooter Ghost Recon:...

    Miniature heroes

    LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes has maintained its position at the top of the UK sales charts for a third week running.

  • News LEGO Batman 2 Glides to UK Charts Summit

    Holy sales, Batman

    LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes has shot straight to the top of the UK sales charts, beating out continued competition from FIFA 12.

    Back of the net

    EA Sports has performed its best Cristiano Ronaldo impression, steering FIFA 12 back to the summit of the UK sales charts in style.

    Number one with a bullet

    There’s still hope for the struggling UK games market after all, as Max Payne 3 has become the best selling new release of the year after beating out PC exclusive Diablo III by 8,000 units. The rebooted Rockstar shooter outsold Max Payne 2 by a ratio of 10:1, with PS3 enjoying a fair share of the sales. FIFA Street moved...

  • News Prototype 2 Conquers UK Sales Charts

    Consumes the competition

    Activision’s angry open-world adventure Prototype 2 has shot straight to the top of the UK sales charts.

    Back of the net

    As the Premier League season dribbles to its conclusion in predictable and conveniently tense fashion, FIFA Street has casually returned to the summit of the UK sales charts after a week or two floundering outside of the top three. It was another good week for publisher EA, with the brilliant (but controversial) Mass Effect 3 sitting...

No other Move new release featured in the Top Ten,...
