This week's top rental charts from U.S. game rental company GameFly, representing the most requested games for the week ending November 19th, highlight both to-be-released and already released games in a unique demand-specific chart. This week's top five all-platform requests at last show a bit of a shake-up, with Assassin's Creed snagging the first spot. With Mass Effect in second, former dominant Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which spent the past four weeks at number one, slips to third. New to the top five, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men takes the fourth spot, with Super Mario Galaxy actually slipping one position in the week of its release to the fifth spot -- on the heels of high critical acclaim, this may be due less to slipping popularity and more to the likelihood that many fans simply purchased Mario's latest adventure. What follows is a breakdown of the top titles requested by GameFly subscribers across each of the major platforms: Xbox 360 1. Assassin's Creed (Ubisoft) 2. Mass Effect (Microsoft) 3. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Activision) 4. Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (Eidos) 5. Timeshift (Vivendi Universal) Nintendo Wii 1. Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo) 2.
