Aussie game charts: March 9-15

It's not too surprising to see that Resident Evil 5, one of the year's biggest games, debuted at number one in the Australian charts last week. The PlayStation 3 version of RE5 took the lead, according to data trackers GfK Australia. Just below it sits the Xbox 360 version.

The Wii Play bundle, which comes packed with a Wii Remote, returned to the top 10, claiming the third place for the week of March 9-15. Not too far behind was Wii Fit, which took out the fourth spot. Two-time chart topper Halo Wars fell significantly from the previous set of charts, landing in fifth position. Following the Halo Wars trend, Killzone 2 also fell several places, stopping at number six. Mario Kart Wii can be found in seventh place, whereas its DS cousin, Mario Kart DS, narrowly made it in at number 10. Guitar Hero World Tour remains in the lower half of the top 10, in eighth place. Seasoned chart veteran Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain returned to the charts last week, settling in at number nine.
