Lego Indy regains the top spot
Wednesday, 25 Jun 2008 09:13
Lego Indy has proved remarkably resilient, displacing Metal Gear Solid 4
All the talk this week centred around Metal Gear Solid 4 and whether it could hold off the challenge of Lego Indiana Jones and Grand Theft Auto IV.
Well, it did manage to do better than GTA, which slumped to fourth place, but Lego Indy lashed its whip around the hanging branch of first place and hauled itself back up to the top.
Atari will be pleased that its newest game, Alone in the Dark, has managed to barge its way past GTA IV into third place. The latest iteration in the classic action-adventure series has obviously captured the imagination of a large portion of the gaming public. Look out for the review here on gamezine very soon.
Elsewhere, Wii Fit slipped heavily again, down from eighth to 19th, possibly due to stock problems again, though nothing has been confirmed.
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII did well to replace Wii Fit in eighth, while 2K Sports' Top Spin 3 backhand sliced its way into the top ten.
A potential first this week, as TWO cooking games are in the top twenty. Everybody's favourite, Cooking Mama, moved above Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, while Nintendo's Cooking Guide took 14th place.
Iron Man bowed its rather disgraceful head out of the top 20 at last, followed by Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit, Don King's Prizefighter and the disappointing Haze.
