O2 mobile game download charts and new releases: May 23rd
|
| O2 mobile charts

The first pair of newies available from O2 this week are a bit left-field of the norm. Twin Spin is such a simple casual effort that it borders on the abstract, whereas Super Political Boxing actually allows you to discover who would win in a fight between Silvio Berlusconi and Vladimir Putin. Not your average mobile gaming fare, we're sure you'll agree.

The latter two of the four new releases are less 'out there', with a licence tie-in for The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian making a predictable dependable appearance and Super Breakout, breaking out as it were, for yet another go on the circuit with a predictable dependable array of new features.

In the charts, Bejeweled has claimed the top spot for the umpteenth time since it release knocking the similarly popular Brain Challenge down a peg or three. Crash Bandicoot: Nitro Kart is the only real casualty having been forced out of the Top 10 completely and replaced by Jenga. Bet you can't guess what the remaining seven games have done? Yep, you guessed it, they've had a rank and file rearrange, the full details of which are below.

And remember that all the games are available to buy via the O2 games portal or by texting the short code from a compatible O2 handset. Don't let it slip your mind to click 'Track It!' to be sure to catch next week's chart. Enjoy.
