Australia gets to see its software sales for 16th of November! What topped the all consoles category? Surprisingly it's the game that's had a lot of criticism, Wii Music! Call of Duty: World at War then took second and third place on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 respectively.
Wii Music also topped the Wii section. This was followed by the popular Guitar Hero: World Tour and then the ever well selling Wii Fit.
Brain Training has done well again on the Nintendo DS taking first. MySims K...
Australian software sales for the week of September the 21st for all consoles, the Wii and the Nintendo DS.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed heavily dominated the all consoles top ten, also managing a respectable second on the top ten Wii games from being beaten by Wii Fit which also managed third being the best all console seller other than Star Wars. Wall-E managed top spot for the DS chart closely followed by Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What To Eat.
Overall the Nintendo Wii was by far ...

Well, we're already almost a few weeks into 2008, and we've experienced the January slump; it's a hangover from the holiday season, and a teaser for a stocked and loaded February and March. However, that's not to say that there aren't quality games coming out in January. What games are you gonna get that are coming out this week?
Notable games this week:
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (DS)
Burnout: Paradise (360, PS3)
Endless Ocean (Wii)
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (DS)

It's another zany sales week in Japan, with DS and Wii sales shooting through the roof in a Nintendo-dominated top ten, and some weird and disheartening PSP sales.
There was a flip-flop at the top of the rankings, as this week's top seller was last week's #2, Mario Party DS, selling 180k units. The #2 seller is last week's #1, Wii Fit, with 124k units sold. Rounding out the top five is the only non-DS/Wii game in the top ten, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3 - 116k - BD Version), Professor L...
Europe receives good news for the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Game for the DS. Although the game for Wii may be out, the DS version wont be out till next year. Here in North America we will be getting the game around in Febuary and we will be waiting anxiously. As they say in the article,"For now "early next year" is as good as it gets."
As we continue on towards the holiday season, I'm inclined to believe that this notable games list will continue to grow into gigantic proportions.
Joystiq has Call of Duty 4 as the highlight, but honestly, you can't pin the total spotlight this week on a single game. Besides, one of the greatest games ever came out for the Virtual Console.
Notable games this week:
Alien Soldier (VC)
Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War (360, PS3)
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (360, PS3, DS, PC)

"See that? Just your bog-standard, everyday Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games screengrab, right? Right. But wait a second there, bucko. Look closer, and what youll see is an out-and-out minefield of fresh, juicy information on the game that Sega reckons will sell, oooh, around a gazillion copies.
Indeed, through this solitary screen, taken by the furtive types at N-Europe, we can extract three new facts about Mario and Sonics RSI-inducing Olympics title."
Mario and Sonic are finally working together in the same game... But they're still competing against each other!
There are sixteen characters confirmed for this game that are playable: eight of which are from Mario games, and the second eight from Sonic's world. We'll have to wait and see who will reign victorious, but here's a list of the events that have been confirmed to be in the game so far.

"Last months news that SEGA and Baldur's Gate/Neverwinter Nights/Jade Empire developer BioWare were joining forces to create a Sonic the Hedgehog RPG for the Nintendo DS came straight out of Bizarro World. Now, BioWare chief Ray Muzyka has shed a little more light on a project that has taken everybody by surprise.
As well as promising that some of the worlds best writing and designing talent was working on Sonic, Muzyka also discussed how the studio intends to translate what is traditiona..."
""We haven't announced anything, so I can't speak about any particulars, but we do have a lot of ideas about how we could potentially use the Wii remote for something like that," Miyamoto told us.
He also pointed to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games as a project that may potentially include such a feature. "There will be some fencing in Mario & Sonic at the Olympics. I don't know if I'm supposed to say that, so if I'm not, I'm very sorry, SEGA," he said, laughing."
