O2 mobile game download charts and new releases: November 30th
A cat amongst the pigeons this week
Talk about your black sheep. Nestling in among a throng of puzzle games such as Lego Escape, Snood Blaster, Block'd and Catchphrase is the mobile version of Kane & Lynch, a Michael Mann-inspired shoot-fest featuring two mentally unsound thugs who list torture, extortion, demolition and sadism as areas of expertise.
Still, bringing about some balance is 3D Rollercoaster Rush and Bomberman, which each have at least a semblance of action. It doesn't matter either way really, we are a come one, come all sort of site and this merry bunch or rag tag ruffians, thrill seekers and brain teasers are all very much welcome as far as we're concerned, especially seeing as they're heading up the assault on the season of jolliness.
Sadly the chart itself seems intent to remain devoid of drama for the time being. Only WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2008 and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire have made their exit, replaced by a stealthy entrance from Assassin's Creed and a surprising re-entry for Championship Manager 2008, which has shot back in at number six. Is gaming's ageing yellow pill popper (Pac-Man) set to hold onto the top spot all the way through until Christmas? We're guessing no, but stranger things have happened. Let the wild speculation commence.
While you are thinking about that, however, remember that the games below are available to buy via the O2 games portal or by texting the short code from a compatible O2 handset. Enjoy!
