Army of Two Defeated by Mario and Sonic
And No More Heroes sneaks into the Top 20 too.
Testosterone and the machinations of war helped Army of Two take the top spot on the UK chart in its debut week but they were not enough to keep it there. After one week in the No. 1 position, EA's buddy-shooter is down slightly, being replaced by regular chart leader Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.
The return to form of the mascot pair is representative of moves across the chart, as older games held on to their positions even as newer ones flagged.
Dr Kawashima's Brain Training is in fourth on the All Formats chart, and it's third overall when considered over individual formats. Nintendo's grey-matter gymnasium has been on sale for more than 90 weeks now, and it has spent most of that time in the Top 10.
New to the rankings this week are No More Heroes, a rare, 16-rated action game for the Wii, and also Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, a war game from Codemasters entrenched in the nuclear age.
