FIFA Street holds off pressure from Rockstar's latest release, mod-'em-up Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition, to take its fourth week at the top, while Doom 3 stays fast at three.
After several weeks of stock shortages, Vivendi's relaunch of World of Warcraft puts the record-breaking MMORPG back into the top 10 at seven, just beating Sega's World Snooker Championship 2005, which slides into eighth place.
Vivendi sees more chart action at 11 in the form of its latest addition to the hit-and-miss Predator series, Predator Concrete Jungle. And while there are no other new entries in the top 20, PC releases get a boost with entries for The Matrix Online at 21 and Cossacks II Napoleonic Wars at 26.
Xbox RPG Jade Empire and futuristic arena-shooter Unreal Championship 2 are out this week and are sure to make an appearance in next week's chart. And the enduring popularity of both Lego and Star Wars, and perhaps therefore their union in Giant's latest action-adventure, which is also out this week, may well empty a few wallets.
