PC download charts: 'Counter Strike: GO', 'Sleeping Dogs'
Pre-orders for the new Counter Strike keep it top of the Steam chart on the verge of its August 21 release, while Hong Kong-based Sleeping Dogs makes a decent dent and anticipation builds for Guild Wars 2.
New release Sleeping Dogs, a tale of undercover police action among brutal triad gangs, reaches third on the Steam chart, second on Green Man Gaming, and GamersGate's European storefront has the Sleeping Dogs limited edition in second.
Guild Wars 2, the massively multiplayer adventure game, launches August 28, and clambers back up the Impulse and Green Man Gaming charts as players prepare themselves for launch night.
GamersGate, meanwhile, is still in the throes of a summer sale, as evidenced by the proliferation of re-entries.
