U.S. Gaming Charts: October 16th – October 22nd

31 Oct, 2011

The Dark Knight quickly jumped into the fray and kung-fu kicked race cars into oblivion. It’s really no surprise that Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham City netted both the #1 and #2 spots on the Top 10 last week. Like a faithful companion, The Sims 3: Pets expansion debuted at the #3 spot for the PC.

Delta Squad still keeps the shots coming as they hang on to the #8 spot. Rage hangs on to the Top 20 charts, falling gracefully from the #4 spot to the #15 spot. NBA 2K12 still retains some semblance of relevancy as they keep going at #7 and #12. Notice what’s missing? From Software’s demonically hard Dark Souls has finally fallen from grace, dropping entirely out of the Top 20. Guess we didn’t like all that dying.
