After loitering at three since its chart debut four weeks ago, Juiced makes a break for first place this week, shunting Medal of Honor European Assault down to two in the process.

Meanwhile Cricket 2005 moves up one place to four, cutesy creature adventure Madagascar makes a leap from 12 to six, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory sneaks up to 12 and Formula 1 05 moves to 16. And Star Wars Battlefront moves up from 21 to make it a top 20 hat-trick for the Lucas franchise.

Only two new releases hit the top 20 this week, as God of War makes a respectable chart debut at five while the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack takes number 13.

Potential new entries next week include Capcom's schizophrenic action-adventure Killer 7 and the game of the film of the comic book, Fantastic Four, which hits shelves just in time for the film's UK premiere.
