A little bit of everything...

O2 mobile game download charts and new releases: May 30th

O2 has a very disparate collection of mobile gaming thrills to offer in the latest batch of new releases, starting with AMA Hollywood Hustle, in which you play an aspiring film star working your way from couch sitter to red carpet strutter. Quite at odds with those whose only ambition is to build the best paper aircraft ever, then, which unsurprisingly is the main focus of Paper Planes.

If you prefer your vehicles to be less flimsy and chiefly land based, however, then Ferrari World Championship wouldn't be a bad option. Even if red isn't your colour. And from the high octane thrills of life as a Formula One driver to the domestic finery of Cooking Mama we go. A pretty major shift in pace but, hey, everyone has to eat and every mobile has to have its regular fix of mini-games.

Lastly from the new arrivals, Richard O'Brien comperes The Crystal Maze, firmly denying this week a running theme but supplying one of the more enjoyable recent mobile games.

As for the charts, Bejeweled is at the top end (again) whereas Jenga and World Snooker 08 are gone without a trace. In their place are the waveringly popular Simpsons: Minutes to Meltdown and The Weakest Link 2008, two games that have been in and out of the charts consistently since their respective releases.

As ever everything else has had a bit of a re-order, though not very drastically this week with many titles retaining the positions they held last week.

Read on for the rest of the details and remember that all the games below are available to buy via the O2 games portal or by texting the short code from a compatible O2 handset. Don't forget to click 'Track It!' to be sure to catch next week's chart. Enjoy.
