L.A. Noire remains at UK number one

Take-Two's detective thriller L.A. Noire has retained the number one spot in the UK software chart in a week which saw the biggest new release, Bethesda's Hunted, only manage fourteenth. It's the game's third week in first place.

Hunted was the only well-publicised boxed release, with PC-only expansion back The Sims 3: Generations beating the RPG by four places with a tenth placed debut.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean has swapped places with Codemasters' DiRT 3 as it climbs back to second, with Zumba Fitness, Brink and Wii Sports Resort maintaining fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.

Positions in the chart are unlikely to remain as stable next week, when Infamous 2 and Red Faction: Armageddon hit stores, as well as the notorious Duke Nukem Forever.
