Heavy Rain sprinted to the top of both British charts this week. Quantic Dream's soaking murder mystery managed to dethrone Aliens vs. Predator and became Sony's first British number one since Killzone 2. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing had a decent first week, but is likely to have fairly good legs and continue to sell well over time. The latest Total War title debuted further down the chart in the PC unfriendly UK retail waters, but worse off was White Knight Chronicles that only managed a 30th spot in the individual formats chart (units).
