GT4 holds the top spot this week, while FIFA Street slides up to second, holding off stiff competition from new entrants Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 at three, Championship Manager 5 at four and Resident Evil 4 at five.
Last week's DS frenzy has cooled-off, with all but Super Mario 64 DS dropping out of the top 10. Although, no doubt on the back of last week's movie release, Robots (available on DS among many other formats), the poorly rated movie tie-in game, has leapt from 25 to 15.
EA makes a noticeable impression with management sim Rugby 2005 and boxing sequel Fight Night Round 2 hitting 10 and 11 respectively. Taking a brief break from sport, the publisher's eagerly anticipated time-travelling FPS sequel TimeSplitters Future Perfect hits the shelves this week, and will certainly see a top 10 position.
In addition to Future Perfect, next week's chart should see action from a younger Dante in prequel Devil May Cry 3, and uber-gory, Marvel-based shenanigans from The Punisher.
