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...

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.

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,...

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.

Top, er, bat
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes has scored a fifth consecutive week at the top of the UK sales charts.

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 Sports Champions Grabs the Silver Medal in UK Charts
Only outsold by Halo: Reach
It probably wouldn't be unfair to say the European Move launch line-up wasn't exactly full to the brim with must-have new releases, but one title that obviously stood out from the crowd was Sports Champions, as it raced to the second slot in the UK All-Formats Charts.
