O2 mobile game download charts and new releases: October 12th
FIFA 08 kicks and screams into the top five, but Sonic's still on top
Welcome once again to the O2 java download charts. Well, we said last week there'd be changes afoot in the charts and as you can see below… we couldn't have been more wrong!
Granted, EA's FIFA 08 has scored a deserved top five berth and Monopoly Here and Now has reappeared, but otherwise it's almost a carbon copy of last week.
Surely the arrival of the historically accurate Age of Empires III , the fiendishly puzzling Hexic, the action-packed World Rally Championship will have a greater bearing on next week's charts? If not then the heroes of Glu's Aqua Teen Hunger Force might have something to say about it! (If they don't, we're just going to damn well sit in Hands On Mobile's Sudoku Garden and sulk.)
As usual, all the games below are available to buy via the O2 games portal, or by texting the short code from a compatible O2 handset.
