Fourth UK No.1 for Saints Row IV

Deep Silver’s Saints Row IV has claimed its fourth No.1 in the UKIE GfK All-Formats Top 40.

With a certain other sandbox game due to arrive at retail this week, a fifth looks unlikely but the publisher will be delighted that its superhero romp has put in such an excellent showing in the UK charts.

Square Enix’s PS3 exclusive Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix is a perhaps unlikely debutant at No.2 – that’s a little better that the 35th place debut made by its parent game on PS2 back in 2002.

There are three other new entries this week – EA’s NHL 14 in 11th, Konami’s Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection in 24th and Sony’s PS3 platformer Puppeteer at No.40.
