This week's top rental charts from U.S. game rental company GameFly, representing the most requested games for the week ending November 19th, highlight both to-be-released and already released games in a unique demand-specific chart.
This week's top five all-platform requests at last show a bit of a shake-up, with
Assassin's Creed snagging the first spot. With
Mass Effect in second, former dominant
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which spent the past four weeks at number one, slips to third.
New to the top five,
Kane and Lynch: Dead Men takes the fourth spot, with
Super Mario Galaxy actually slipping one position in the week of its release to the fifth spot -- on the heels of high critical acclaim, this may be due less to slipping popularity and more to the likelihood that many fans simply purchased Mario's latest adventure.
