UK Top 40: LA Noire catches first place

The Witcher 2 conjures fifth.

Epic crime caper L.A. Noire has locked up the top spot in the UK charts. It is the fastest-selling new video game IP ever in the UK.

The Witcher 2 meanwhile magicked itself into fifth place. That's despite it being a PC-only release and the chart not counting digital sales.

Lego Pirates of the Caribbean has done swimmingly, floating up to second. Last week's top dog Brink clings on to another high finish, landing in third.

The cult of Zumba Fitness continues as the dance fitness phenomenon steps into fourth. Crysis 2 is sixth, Portal 2 materialises in seventh and the end of the footie season sees FIFA 11 still kicking in eighth.

Mortal Kombat makes ninth, while the newly Buffy-enhanced Call of Duty: Black Ops re-animates tenth place.

That's it for new entries in the top 40, meaning no luck for No More Heroes remake Heroe's Paradise; and yet another Nintendo 3DS exclusive - Dead or Alive: Dimensions - is dead on arrival.

Chart-Track doesn't publish sales figures but noted L.A. Noire's numbers were "on a par" with last year's Rockstar release Red Dead Redemption.

There's good news also for Polish developer CD Projekt - its Witcher sequel is outselling the original by three-to-one.
