O2 mobile game download charts and new releases: July 20th
The Simpsons Homer in on the top three, but a cut-price Sonic still leads the charge
Don't have a cow, man, but we'll eat our shorts if it's not time for the latest update of the (D)O(h!)2 Java download charts - aye caramba!
As the not-so-subtle intro suggests, the big news this week is the arrival of EA's The Simpsons: Minutes to Meltdown. Selling faster than Flaming Moe cocktails, it leaps straight into the top three.
Although we'd be frankly amazed if this licence to print money didn't rise further next week (especially with the movie's release), right now it's sandwiched - mmm... sandwich - between Gameloft's half-price classics Brain Challenge and Blockbreaker Deluxe, not to mention two places down on the golden (donut) ring-collecting brilliance of Sonic The Hedgehog.
Elsewhere it's pretty much as you were, although puzzler Flexis Extreme threatens to bounce things around next week, assuming K-Bong doesn't hit it on the head with a mallet first, of course.
As usual, all the games below are available to buy via the O2 games portal, or by texting the short code (where supplied) from a compatible O2 handset.
