Bethesda's Fallout: New Vegas has hit the top spot in the UK chart on its opening week, knocking Medal of Honor to second.
The latest Professor Layton title, The Unwound Future, enters at fourth - giving Nintendo three first-party games in the top ten.
Elsewhere, Activision's DJ Hero 2 makes a disappointing start, only managing 25th on its opening week. Platinum's Vanquish just misses out on the top ten despite winning high praise at review, entering the chart at number twelve.
Halo: Reach continues to decline in sales, dropping to eleventh after five weeks on sale, leapfrogging Dead Rising 2 at tenth.
