UK charts: Alan Wake fails to take top slot

By Johnny Cullen

Alan Wake’s the big new entry in this week’s UK charts, but World Cup 2010: South Africa managed to hold on to the number one spot.

The EA tie-in fended off the Remedy thriller, which came in at two.

Capcom’s Lost Planet 2 also did well for itself, coming in at three. Ubisoft’s Just Dance and new entry Skate 3 rounded off the top five.
