UK Charts: Sleeping Dogs Fights Off Tekken
Tekken Tag Tournament was a new challenger in the charts this week, but Sleeping Dogs has valiantly managed to deliver a knockout and remain in the number one position for another week.
The open-world crime game has proved a major hit, having topped the charts for a couple of weeks before dropping to second, then last week re-claiming top spot. and has held off one of the biggest Fighting games of the year from reaching the summit of the UK Charts. Other new entries include NHL 13, that manages to reach ninth position, despite the fact that the sport of Ice Hockey is a fairly niche interest in the UK, and we actually see Max Payne 3 re-enter the charts in tenth, after it had in fact dropped out of the top forty tracking entirely in previous weeks.

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.
