Halo: Reach stays on top while Pro Evo manages to beat Fifa when it comes to buzz.

Despite falling to forth place in the UK all formats chart, Halo: Reach refuses to budge from the minds of gamers, staying way out ahead with 34,768 mentions this week. Dead Rising 2 spends a third week at number two with 8748 mentions, while Pro Evo 11, though losing out to Fifa 11 in terms of sales, pulls ahead in the top sellers buzz chart with 7264 comments to the EA competitor's 6126.

Positions five and six are taken up by two further new entries in the form of Enslaved and Castlevania, totalling 3108 and 2999 mentions respectively.

UK Sales Chart week ended October 9

In the positive buzz chart, last week's number one and two spots, Halo: Reach and Dead Rising 2, are flanked by Enslaved (56 per cent) and Castlevania (47 per cent). Pro Evo rounds out the top five, meanwhile, with 46 per cent.

Last week's most negatively discussed game, F1 2010, manages to improve its situation, dropping to number eight with a matching percentage, making way for Halo: Reach to occupy the top spot with 18 per cent. Enslaved doesn't monkey about either, sitting at ten with absolutely no unhappy users whatsoever.
