UK Charts: Destiny Holds On To Top Spot Despite Competition From Disney Infinity
Destiny has managed to hold onto the top spot in the UK charts – not surprisingly, considering that the game has now become the biggest-selling original ip game ever in the UK. The Activision title managed to hold off competition from new releases such as Disney Infinity 2.0 and Hyrule Warriors – both of which launched on Friday.
Elsewhere, Minecraft managed to re-enter the top ten, on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 – fuelled most likely by the new last week of Microsoft buying Minecraft developers Mojang. It seems like that news sparked new interest in the game, although it has been there or thereabouts in the top twenty for quite some time.

If I'm not playing on a good Adventure Game - still longing for the long-past Golden Age of the genre, when Lucasarts and Sierra ruled supreme - you might find me searching for a local arcade, in the hopes that it still houses titles such as Sunset Riders or WindJammers.
