O2 mobile game download charts and new releases: April 20th
Sonic Jumps into the top five, but it's the new releases that really cause a stir
Welcome once more to our weekly update of the top downloaded games from O2's portal. We're going to keep it short and sweet this week because quite frankly not a lot has changed in the chart.
Bubble Bash retains its number one slot having deposed Noel last week (although Deal or No Deal is still hanging in at number three). The only new arrival is a famous spiky blue fella, with Sonic Jump having leapt straight in at number five, pushing the rest of the chart down a place.
We imagine the real action will kick off next week, with all five of the highlighted releases below capable of causing a stir.
With all the movie hype behind it, we'd expect Spider-Man 3 to swing straight into a high slot, Namco Arcade Golf to putt in a strong performance, and Crash Bandicoot Mini Games to play its way into contention. With arcade-classic Centipede and the value-tastic 2-4-1 Fun Quest also arriving, we're anticipating a very different look to next week's table. Come back this time next week to find out (or press 'Track It!' to get an automatic mail sent to you).
All the games below are available to buy via the O2 games portal, or by texting the shortcode (where supplied) from a compatible O2 handset.
