Aussie game charts: March 3-9

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock for the PlayStation 2 continues its reign of rock over the Australian game charts for the second week in a row, according to data trackers GfK Australia. The recently released Guitar Hero III: Legends double pack for the Wii, which contains two guitars, has debuted in third position, whereas the Xbox 360 version sunk five places from the previous week, to number nine.

The Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games duo have been split up from the previous week, with the Nintendo DS version sitting at number two and the Wii version at the other end of the chart in eighth spot. THQ's answer to the Battlefield series--Frontlines: Fuel of War for the 360--has debuted in at number seven. Bringing up the rear at number 10 is Bully: Scholarship Edition on the Xbox 360.

In other charts news, the recently released Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Soulstorm has debuted at number two on the PC charts. Despite it being a stand-alone game, the original Dawn of War from 2004--Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War--has reappeared in the PC charts in sixth spot, after a long break.
