In this week's top rental charts from U.S. game rental company GameFly, Activision's upcoming movie tie in Spiderman 3 once again topped all other requests for the week, while upcoming Xbox releases Command & Conquer 3 and Mass Effect
This week's top rental charts from U.S. game rental company GameFly, representing the most requested games for the week ending April 20, highlight both to-be-released and already released games in a unique demand-specific chart. Once more it was Activision's upcoming video game adaptation of Spiderman 3 on top of the all platform chart for the week, with Electronic Arts' upcoming Xbox 360 port of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, expected to ship this May, as the second most requested game for the week. While Nintendo's recently shipped Super Paper Mario ranked last week as the third top requested title among GameFly subscribers, the Wii exclusive was replaced this week by the upcoming Xbox 360 action RPG Mass Effect.

Cooking Mama: Cook Off (Majesco), 3. Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (Midway), 4. Prince of Persia: Rival Swords (Ubisoft) 5.
