We love charts here at Player Attack, and one of the highlights of our week is receiving the latest details from UKIE, who send us the 40 best-selling titles in Britain, as announced by the The Association for UK Interactive Entertainment.
It’s Square Enix vs Namco Bandai for the top spot this week, with last week’s champ Sleeping Dogs facing a challenge from Tekken Tag Tournament 2. A twelve-year wait for the fighting sequel wasn’t quite enough though, and it’s pork buns for all (again) as Hong Kong action reigns supreme.
Sports games are doing impressively well this week, but the true success story belongs to Rockstar, with some savvy marketing propelling Max Payne 3 all the way from 48th to the top 10.
