This week's chart continues where last week's left off, matching the general dullness of the August release schedule. Brian Lara hangs onto the top spot, with film tie-ins Madagascar and Fantastic 4 taking the No.2 and No.3 spots. Codemaster's Worms 4: Mayhem has climbed seven places to take the No.10 spot, but that is about as exciting as the chart gets.

This Friday sees the release of Real World Golf, the second game to make use of the GameTrak peripheral. It might not make a huge entry in the chart, but it's the first interesting game release in weeks.
