UK Video Game Charts: LA Noire Smashes Sales Records

Team Bondi and Rockstar's technologically excellent LA Noire has ripped into the UK Chart-Track charts and ripped up the records.

It is, apparently the fastest selling new intellectual property in UK game sales history. According to Chart-Track, the game - which entered the charts at #1 - managed to sell as well as Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption (a sequel) with 58% of those sales on the Xbox 360 making it the 13th week-one best-seller on that platform. It's the 11th best-selling on PS3.

Frankly, the fact that a new piece of thinking has hit the top of the charts should cheer us all. Read our review here.
