O2 mobile game download charts and new releases: October 26th

Right, are you comfortable? Relaxed? Got the oxygen canister nearby?

Good. Here goes, then: we have a new number one this week.

We know, we could barely believe it ourselves. In fact, we've been slapping each other silly since, just to make sure it's not a dream. But given our stinging cheeks, we're very much awake, just as Monopoly Here and Now has very much jumped nine places in a week, to lead the charts.

If that isn't reason enough to get in touch with your estranged father to tell him the news, then consider the fact we've also had fresh faces turning up in the top 10: Championship Manager 2007, Block Breaker Deluxe and even The Sims 2, which we haven't seen for a couple of weeks.

Of course, change is a good thing and now that we've tasted this brave new world, we want more. Well, some of the new releases may yet shake things up further, not least Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, from which we expect great things.

We'll find out how Konami's effort gets on in seven days, of course. Until then, all the games below are available to buy via the O2 games portal, or by texting the short code from a compatible O2 handset.
