UK charts: Red Dead outguns Mario

Rockstar redeems a fifth top spot.

Red Dead Redemption has topped the UK all-formats chart for a fifth week.

That means Super Mario Galaxy 2 settling for second and 2010 FIFA World Cup for third, again.

There were new entries this week for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on PSP and International Cricket 2010. Neither made the top 10 though - Codemasters' sports game was 12th and Hideo Kojima's PSP game 18th.

Just Dance, however, was fourth, and Rooms: The Main Building fifth.

Modern Warfare 2, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, Wii Fit Plus, Blur and Wii Sports Resort rounded out the top 10.
