Brink leaps to No.1 in UK

Splash Damage's Brink has charted in number one in UKIE's sales charts in its opening week, with Lego Pirates of the Caribbean clambering in just behind it at number 2.

69% of the sales were accredited to Xbox 360, a favouring likely impacted due to PSN's continued down-time.

Despite missing the top spot, Traveller's Tales had much to celebrate; Pirates was one of three Lego tie-ins sailing in the top 20, with Lego Star Wars III at 7 and Lego Harry Potter at 20.

Previous weeks releases held strong, with Portal and Mortal Kombat retaining top ten placements and Operation Flashpoint just slipping out and into 12th.
