Sonic & Mario at the Olympic Games beats UK top charts ... again!

StarJet | April 08, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 2 
Remember this? Oops, they've done it again! After being at the top for some time, Sonic and Mario have once again reclaimed the spot.
Here's the rest of the top chart :


  1. TOM CLANCY’S RAINBOW SIX: VEGAS 2

  2. PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 2008

  3. CONDEMNED 2

  4. GUITAR HERO III: LEGENDS OF ROCK

  5. VIKING: BATTLE FOR ASGARD

  6. DARK SECTOR

  7. CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE

  8. SEGA SUPERSTARS TENNIS

  9. FIFA 08

  10. COOKING MAMA 2

  11. THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2 & 3 RETURN

  12. ARMY OF TWO

  13. FOOTBALL MANAGER 2008

  14. NEW SUPER MARIO BROS.

  15. THE SIMPSONS GAME

  16. BULLY: SCHOLARSHIP EDITION

  17. ASSASSIN’S CREED

  18. NEED FOR SPEED: PROSTREET

  19. WWE SMACKDOWN VS RAW 2008


God knows how NFS ProStreet got there, after being such a big disappointment.
Their unholy alliance seems to be paying off as everyone’s favourite Plumber and Hedgehog have topped the UK’s all format charts again this week. This game is proving to be a beast that will not be slain, consistently rising and falling in the charts just to climb to the top spot again. Not only is the game number one overall but first on the Wii and second on the DS charts, cementing the fact that I am the only one who finds the premise of a stunted overweight Italian posing anything that even resembles an athletic challenge to a super-sonic hedgehog ridiculous. Then again, the fact I gave time to thinking about that says something about me.

    Just wait till the big guns come out, then Mario and Sonic won't be at the top (actually, they probably will be technically, but in Brawl).

    How can such a silly game be at the top. Just goes to show how moronic the average Wii owner is.

      Some people probably just loooove to cook. I thought Cooking Mama was some uber shite game. Wait... It still is.

    Mario and Sonic is not a good game, it's just selling high.

    It's nice to see New Super Mario Bros. up there... even though it was released a year and a half ago.

    That's quite hilarious. I can't believe Mario & Sonic is at the top. I myself thought it was a good game but it's not good enough for the whole world to go out and buy it and top the charts =|. Weird to see Cooking Mama & New Super Mario Bros. up there because they were released so long ago =|.

    11. COOKING MAMA 2

    Okay, this list is pathetic. Olympics are first and Cooking Mama is 11th. NSMB is even selling more than Assassin's Creed.
