This week's top rental charts from U.S. game rental company GameFly, representing the most requested games for the week ending February 16, highlight both to-be-released and already released games in a unique demand-specific chart.
Once again, Microsoft's Xbox 360 sandbox action game
Crackdown holds on to the top spot on the all platform chart, with Electronic Arts' arcade style
NBA Street Homecourt for the Xbox 360 taking the second place position. Sony's upcoming PlayStation 2 swan song
God of War II ranked as the third most requested title across all platforms, preventing requests for titles for Microsoft's console from sweeping the chart as in recent weeks.
While both
Crackdown and
NBA Street Homecourt took the top two requests for Xbox 360 releases for the week, the pair were followed by Capcom's snowy action title
Lost Planet. PlayStation 3 requests were topped by Sega's recently shipped
Virtua Fighter 5, while Take Two's
Major League Baseball 2K7 and Sony's
Formula 1 filled out the remaining two positions for the console.
Wii requests were headlined by Sega's upcoming
Sonic and the Secret Rings, followed by Electronic Arts' Wii exclusive
SSX Blur. Nintendo's own
Wario Ware: Smooth Moves rounded out the top three Wii requests for the week.
Looking to the previous console generation, Sony's
God of War II was again the top requested PlayStation 2 title for the week, followed by Take Two's movie and comic book adaptation
Ghost Rider, and the Level 5 developed action RPG
Rogue Galaxy. Xbox requests were topped by Dreamcatcher's first-person shooter
Painkiller: Hell Wars. Vivendi's
Scarface: The World Is Yours was the second most requested Xbox release for the week, followed by Electronic Arts'
