Super Smash Bros. Brawl retakes the coveted number one spot down under.

19 Comments

The latest instalment in the hugely popular Super Smash Bros. series--Super Smash Bros. Brawl--has reclaimed the throne atop of the Australian game chart, according to data trackers GfK Australia. Mario Kart Wii, which was last week's number one, slipped down into second position.

Wii Play and Wii Fit remained in third and fourth places, respectively, for the week of July 7-July 13, while Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games on the Wii jumped up significantly into the fifth spot. Veteran chart visitor--Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain?--returned to the chart, after a brief break, taking out sixth position. Activision's Guitar Hero: On Tour, which is the series' debut on a handheld platform, continues to plod along in seventh place. High School Musical: Makin' the Cut dropped three spots to number eight. Finishing off the list, is SingStar Party Hits in ninth and 10th places--ninth place is taken up by the stand-alone game, while 10th held is the microphone bundle.

In the PC charts, The Sims 2 continues to flex its muscle, with The Sims 2: Ikea Home Stuff taking out the top spot. Six other Sims 2 titles can also be found in the top 10.
