Football is still king of the charts this week. Knocking FIFA 07 off the top-spot to two is the newly released Football Manager 2007, the widely respected Football Management Simulator. The second new release of the week comes in the form of another simulator, the newest The Sims 2 iteration; The Sims 2: Pets. Scarface: The World Is Yours holds-up well, falling only two places to four, while yet another popular sequel, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Double Agent enters at five. The number six position is held this week by the ever popular LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, followed by the seventh, and not the last, sequel, the new entry Battlefield 2142. Still refusing to leave the Top 10 is the multi-format Disney/Pixar: Cars, holding firm at eight this week.

After a respectable term at the top, Tiger Woods’ PGA Tour 07 is falling rapidly, dropping four this week to nine, despite finally receiving it’s delayed Xbox360 release. The Top 10 is rounded out by the third football title, Championship Manager 2007, down one place from nine. Nine sequels or expansions and one Film Licence make up the Top 10, with plenty more in the teens, is it any wonder the industry is deprived of original titles?
