UK chart: Mafia II still top dog

Metroid: Other M misses top 10.

Mafia II has topped the UK all-formats chart for a second consecutive week.

Fellow receiver of 4/10 on Eurogamer, Kane & Lynch 2, remains in second.

The big-name newcomers this week were HAWX 2 and Metroid: Other M. Ubisoft's aerial combat game managed to scrape 10th, but Nintendo and Team Ninja's take on the Metroid licence managed only 12th.

Wii Sports Resort was third, Toy Story 3 fourth and Red Dead Redemption fifth.

From there, the top 10 was rounded out by Just Dance, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Sniper: Ghost Warrior (2/10, remmeber), Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and HAWX 2.
