Aussie game charts: October 2-8

It seems Aussie gamers just can't get enough Pokémon action in their lives, with the latest titles from Nintendo's pocket monster stable claiming the top two slots in Australia's game charts for the second week in a row.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team for the DS and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team for the Game Boy Advance landed in the first and second spots, respectively, according to figures from data trackers GfK Australia. GfK's sales figures for the week of October 2 to October 8 also show that Nintendo managed to sneak another entry into the top 10 games list, with Dr Kawashima's Brain Training for the DS coming in at number 10.

PlayStation 2 titles dominated the charts this week, with six of the top 10 entries being games for Sony's soon-to-be-last-generation console. And in an unusual occurrence, PC mainstay World of Warcraft made it into the overall top 10, landing in seventh position.

Xbox 360 titles, however, have completely fallen out of the weekly top 10. Last week's best-selling 360 game, Test Drive Unlimited, failed to make the overall top 10, but managed to make it to the number two spot in the 360-specific charts.
