GameFly: Kingdom Under Fire Ends Assassin's Long Reign

This week's top rental charts from U.S. game rental company GameFly, representing the most requested games for the week ending December 31st, highlight both to-be-released and already released games in a unique demand-specific chart. The period of little rental chart movement among the top-five all-platform requests is finally at an end, as Kingdom Under Fire: Circle Of Doom snuffs Assassin's Creed's five-week stay at number one, nudging the Ubisoft title into second place. Call of Duty 4, which had remained in the top five since its release week, remains at number three for its third week in a row, a position it's largely maintained with the exception of a little musical chairs with Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, which falls out of the top five this week. It's Mass Effect who rejoins the top five in fourth place, and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune takes back the fifth place position it had yielded to Unreal Tournament III last week.
