The more things change, the more they stay the same. We have a new title in top spot this week, but a lot of the rest is all just the same ol', same ol'. Five Wii titles in the top ten, two DS, and one each for PS2, PS3 and the Xbox 360. What is going on with the state of PC gaming in this country?!
...anyway. A plumber has raced his little go-karty way into #1 for a change, PC gamers are experiencing a slight Burning sensation, and - despite some scathing reviews - Xbox 360 and PS3 are still in Beijing (sticking around for the Paralympics?). The PS2 has turned up their amps on their karaoke machine, DS fans are hard at work getting smarter with each minigame, and their PSP cousins are
still hanging out with a secret agent robot.
