The brilliant Borderlands 2 has finally dethroned Sleeping Dogs to take this week's UK all-format chart number one.
Two other new entries filed in neatly behind: F1 2012 was second, while PES 2013 launched in third.
Sleeping Dogs had to settle for fourth, ahead of Lego Batman 2 and the new PlayStation Vita-exclusive LittleBigPlanet.
Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors and One Piece mash-up One Piece: Pirate Warriors was the only other new entry to reach the chart. It boarded the top 40 in 34th place.
Also released last week: Cumberbatch-free sleuth game The Testament of Sherlock Holmes (Benedict, you were robbed at the Emmys) and DS keyboard-toting edutainment title Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure. Neither made the chart.
The full top 40 lies below.
