Sleeping Dogs wakes up all formats games chart

It’s been a sleepy time for the UK’s all formats games chart with new releases few and far between and the usual suspects jostling for position in top 10 and top 40 alike. Thankfully the release of Square Enix’s Sleeping Dogs and Nintendo’s New Super Mario Bros. 2 has acted as an alarm call meaning we have brand new titles filling the chart’s top spots.

Elsewhere much remains the same with the Olympic hangover still lingering and Lego titles still selling well with both Lego Batman 2 and Lego Harry Potter in the ten highest selling games of the week. Predictions for next week: expect Darksiders 2 to be giving Sleeping Dogs a fight for number one.

1 – SLEEPING DOGS – SQUARE ENIX
2 – NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. 2 – NINTENDO
3 – LONDON 2012: THE OFFICIAL VIDEO GAME – SEGA
