Gearbox and 2K Games' Duke Nukem Forever finally launched last week, 14 years after it was originally announced, and took the top spot in the UK retail software sales charts. It took Duke to finally dethrone Team Bondi and Rockstar Games' LA Noire, which was previously in the number one slot for three weeks since its release. The title saw a 54 percent decline in sales this week, but still managed to hold on to the number two spot. For the week ended June 11, the charts saw two other new entries - Volition and THQ's Red Faction: Armageddon entering at number eight, and Sucker Punch and Sony's Infamous 2 at number four. Elsewhere, Zumba Fitness held firm at number three, refusing to leave the top five since its release, while the likes of Dirt 3, Brink and Call of Duty: Black Ops dropped slightly but remained in the top 10.
