Aussie game charts: December 10-December 16
Grand Theft Scratchy hijacks the charts.
The Simpsons Game for the PlayStation 2 has finally managed to take out the top spot in the Australian game charts--seven weeks after its initial release--according to data trackers GfK Australia. The DS version of the game also made it into the top 10, taking out the seventh spot.
Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii--last week's number one--fell down to number two during the week of December 10 to December 16. Drawn to Life for the Nintendo DS has reappeared in the overall charts at number three after a brief hiatus. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the Xbox 360 climbed up from the previous week to number five, while Activision's other chart topper--Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock--is nowhere to be seen. Halo 3 for the 360 has reappeared at number nine, while Nintendo's Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree bundle ended the week at number 10.
