Capcom’s Xbox 360 exclusive Lost Planet is enjoying a third week at the number one spot in the UK video game top ten, even as a number of new entries arrive a little further down the Chart Track-compiled countdown. The highest new entry of the week is the budget priced Sega Mega Drive Collection (aka Sega Genesis Collection), with an expectedly strong performance considering the Genesis' pronounced popularity in the UK. Previous rival Nintendo has three titles in the top ten, with WarioWare: Smooth Moves moving up one place, last year’s New Super Mario Bros. re-entering the top ten and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess becoming the highest climber of the week with a move from number twenty-one to thirteen. Outside of the top ten, the second highest new entry of the week is low budget BBC comedy license Little Britain at number fourteen – a rare example of a British developed game created solely for the home market. Also entering the top forty for the first time, despite having first been released a week earlier, is first party Nintendo DS game Star Fox Command at number twenty-six, Ubisoft’s PSP exclusive movie tie-in Rocky Balboa at number twenty-seven and massively multiplayer online PC game Vanguard: Saga of Heroes at number thirty-four.
