While Team Heroes hangs on to the top spot for its second week since release, the most noticeable aspect of this week's Top 20 is that there are no new entries or even re-entries. Zip, zero, zilch.

Apart from Midway Arcade Treasures (which climbed from 17 to 12), all last week's new entries have fallen. The only other game to climb more than a few places is Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, which manages to ascend four places. The rest of the Top 20 is just a case of titles jostling for position in their area of the chart.

Next week doesn't see a great number of releases but we'd expect Final Fantasy X-2 to figure somewhere. Also, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time makes its Xbox and Gamecube debut. Now that it'll be out on all formats, we're hoping that it'll rise in the charts in the manner it deserves after a not-so-great showing when it debuted on PS2.
