UK sales charts, September 9-16: Lego leads the board

Despite entering the charts at number three last week, Lego Star Wars II has proved a popular favourite with the British public, rising to snatch the top spot from Dead Rising this week. The rest of the chart follows in similar vein, demonstrating only a slight shuffle from last week's positions. Several Xbox 360 titles are selling well, but the multiformat nature of Lego Star Wars may have tipped it to the top -- that, and it's Lego, man.

1. Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
2. Dead Rising
3. Saints Row
4. Cars
5. Test Drive Unlimited
6. Dr Kawashima's Brain Training
7. New Super Mario Bros.
8. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
9. Lego Star Wars
10. The Sims 2

Awesome, go 360! I need to rent the 360 version of Lego Star Wars 2 for those tempting, delicious achievement points.

Am I the only one who would LOVE Lego Ghostbusters?

Erik Novak: Sep 19th 2006; 2:47PM

Actually, I was hoping for Lego Matrix Trilogy or Lego Indiana Jones Trilogy myself.

Lego of Monkey Island!

It was a bit of a letdown that many of the seemingly simple little bugs in the first game were not worked out in the second game. But this is like complaining that the sequel is merely 'just as good' as the last game, which is still mighty good indeed.

LEGO (not Lego) Ghostbusters would be awesome!!!!!

I just wonder how many of those Lego Star Wars 2 sales came from folks who didn't realize they were buying an unfinished bug-riddled product (http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/lego-star-wars-ii/legos-sw2-ds-shipped-incomplete-201346.php)
