Hope in humanity partially restored as Dishonored makes strong UK chart debut

Other highlights this week include XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which charts at a very respectable No. 7 and becomes publisher Take 2’s biggest selling title of the week, overtaking the mighty Borderlands 2. Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 appear at 3 and 5 respectively. Rather interestingly, Chart Track notes that even if sales of both versions were combined it wouldn’t be enough to chart the Pokémon sequels above Dishonored. Finally, Kinect-only Fable: The Journey limps in at No.37.

I don't have the energy to really hate anything properly. Most things I think are OK or inoffensively average. I do love quite a lot of stuff as well, though.
