Despite a good attempt – going from #8 to #2 – Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer hasn’t been able to slide Forza 2 off the top spot. The PlayStation 2 version of Fantastic Four can be found on the high street for as little as £17.99, so well done Forza.
Shrek the Third and Flatout: Ultimate Carnage are the biggest new entries, going in at #13 and #14. Expect Shrek to enter the top 10 once the movie reaches cinemas, but obviously it won’t deserve to be there. Lower down in the chart Armoured Core 4 – from budget publisher 505 Games, no less – is in at #39 and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon at one place lower. Midway can’t be happy about that – they’ve been pushing the Wii version surprisingly heavily.
We wouldn’t be shocked to see Lumines on PSP back in the chart next week – sales have gone through the roof (see here on Amazon) after naughty people have found a way to use it to downgrade the PSP’s firmware.
