This isn't the same game we saw at number 3 last week (now at number 10), so boardgame fans have something new to do with their thumbs, as well. Oh! By the way - it's probably worth noting the new Monopoly World entry in the charts. The combined might of Spore and Guirar Hero are surely set to give the charts a good old shake up next week, so stay tuned pop pickers.

That should raise enough of a fascinated eyebrow to make the new mobile movie tie-in quite attractive.Īre You Smarter Than a 10 Year Old returns to the mobile for a second series (though I suspect there aren't that many of us out there who're inclined to shout a resounding "Yes!" to that question) while the Olympics say a protracted farewell by jumping back up the charts a few notches.

Its mega-popular predecessor has refused to leave the charts since its mobile release, and although it ducked below the waterline last week, it's now thrashed its way back to sixth place.
Unfortunately for the independent games, there's another giant dominating second place in the new releases: Guitar Hero III Backstage Pass. At the risk of 'Sporing' the pants off you (that was similar to a 'pun'), we'll press on past the single-celled gaming phenomenon and cast a bit of light on the poor games caught in its long shadow this week. Yep, it's been a Spore-tastic week here on Pocket Gamer and although Will Wright's evolutionary revolution isn't reflected in the O2 Charts yet, there's no doubt it'll have climbed the ladder by next week. Remember that Skol advert, with the Vikings singing their drinking song? Well, give those lads a fistful of mobile phones and this week they'd be singing, " Spore Spore Spore Spore!"
