This Week's UK X360 Top 20 Charts

Sleeping Dogs

Written Monday, September 10, 2012 By Lee Bradley

Sleeping Dogs' bite continues to match its bark, as the Square Enix published title enjoys another week at number one. It sees off stout competition from SEGA's Olympics Game, Madden NFL 13 and Darksiders II, which slips down a spot to fourth.

Just below that is Forza Motorsport 4, which moves up the grid from ninth to fifth this week. Similarly, Skyrim jumps a few spots to 14th from 18th, while the rest of the top 20 stays pretty static. Outside of the chart Worms Collection only managed to wriggle into 27th place.

	I can't understand why FIFA 12 is so high on the list at this stage in time, plus I haven't even seen it cheap yet. I remember a few weeks ago GAME sent me an email saying it was their Deal of the Week at £19.99, I only paid £27 on release day! Can't wait for FIFA 13 though, and this list will be full of a host of awesome games by the end of November.

	Poor Activision, they thought that only Call of Duty could sell. Sleeping Dogs is continuing to bite them in the ass.

	Sleeping Dogs was a tasty treat. Very generic but the melee combat lifted it above 'average GTA clone' status.

	Who's gonna tell the people who still play London 2012 that the Olympics are over?

	As much as I'm enjoying sleeping dogs it is in dire need of a patch. I've lost track of how many times I've fallen through the map! Particularly during races, absolutely loving the game but it's certainly got some rough edges. Also nice to see Darksiders 2 doing well, finished it 2 days ago and it lived up to the hype for me! Great game, FIFA 12 and borderland 2 next! This is a great time to be a gamer!

	@2 Considering how long the game has been out it's doing excellent on the charts. Move along.

	@1 It is not high on the list at all, the list is out of 20 and it's 18th. It usually doesn't drop out of the top 10 until the last month and a week before the next in the series it falls out completely, it's taking exactly the same route as the previous 3 fifa games.

	I wonder why Arkham City has jumped back up in popularity. I've seen a few of my friends playing it over the past week or so.

	@9 - I wasn't bashing Sleeping Dogs at all. I love the game. I was simply remarking about the fact that Activision dropped the game because they didn't think it would do well. How wrong they were.

	I am slight bit wonder is that Darksiders II start drop each week release charts. I bet THQ might not happy, I weren't sure. You know THQ got problems with business recents with sales. I will getting if Sleeping Dogs and Darksiders II's single-player DLCs with achievements come out. Loved both. :)
