This week's GameFly video game rental charts for North America, specifically relating to games rented via the games-by-mail service for the week ending July 11th, show popularity over multiple game formats.
The cross-platform charts for this week shows Rare's Xbox-exclusive
Conker: Live and Reloaded zooming cheekily up to the top spot, and leapfrogging the previous champion, Pandemic/THQ's
Destroy All Humans!, which slips a place into second. Still hanging around in third place overall is Sony's mythtastic PlayStation 2 exclusive
God of War.
Unsurprisingly, the Xbox chart for this week shows the same order for the top two -
Conker: Live and Reloaded, followed by
Destroy All Humans!, and the recently released Xbox SKU of
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas conspires to make it into third position. Conversely, the PlayStation 2's top titles show an apparently buoyant
Destroy All Humans propping up the top spot, with
God Of War next in the pecking order, and a not yet defeated
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith back in third.
Moving on to the GameCube, Capcom's distinctly unconventional
Killer 7, which also debuted for PlayStation 2 this week, albeit lower on the charts, leapfrogs all the way to number 1, thanks to the relative lack of new GC titles. The evergreen
Resident Evil 4 is in second, with Namco's critically frowned-upon
Star Fox Assault back in third.
Next up, we've got double Nintendo danger, and the practically undead
Pokemon Emerald is in top spot once more, followed up by another Nintendo-created game,
Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, and the likely more-than-cult Atlus-published RPG
Riviera: The Promised Land. For the DS, however, the frantic puzzles of
Meteos careen their way up into first, and further down the list, there's the well-received
Kirby: Canvas Curse, and a little stealth action courtesy Ubisoft's
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.
Finally, the PSP gets some new titles to add to the mix, with car-culture junkies going crazy over Rockstar's
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition in first, the Japanese-developed first person shooter surprise that is Konami's
Coded Arms in second, and the enhanced conversion of Namco's
Dead to Rights: Reckoning up in third.
