Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, wenches, harlots, ne'er-do-wells, reprobates, charlitans, drunks, cads, scoundrels, spooners, grunts and daisies! Welcome to this week's Chart Track all-format, all-price Top 20, coming in your eyes and leaving with a smile!
It's no change this week, with yet more stagnancy threatening to reek its stench of immobility across the big ten, with Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories reigning supreme with a snarl on its face and pistol in its pocket at number one. Meanwhile, Mario's fat buttocks spread like huge, unweildy plums across one of those green drain pipes in delirious resignation as New Super Mario Bros. hangs tight at number two.
Three however, sees a veritable burst of activity as Activision's Over the Hedge movie tie-in literally flies up from seven, leaving us wondering if the game's got beavers in, so we can make some kind of trite trimming joke. Down one to four, it seems like FIFA World Cup Germany's reign is finally over, while five sees a single place slippage for Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training - a game we've now stopped playing for fear of becoming omnipotent.
At six from five, Pro Evolution Soccer 5 puts on a brave face while Lara starts to sag at seven as Tomb Raider: Legend loses its lustre, down one as well. There's a - WAIT FOR IT! - new entry at eight for Buena Vista's Pirates of the Carribbean: Dead Man's Chest (no idea if the game's any good, but the movie's ace, fact fans).
Yet another tumble at nine as Hitman: Blood Money gets one in the ass(assin), while - finally for now - there's our second new entry this week as Sega's Chromehounds stomps into the top ten, looks a bit menacing then has a nice sit down until the rest of them decide to bugger off.
Full top 20 for your delectation below and - below that - PC fans can rejoice in their very own custom-made top 20, with none of that bothersome console malarky to contend with. Bye for now!
