The debate over whether or not Sony's Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is nothing but a glorified demo hasn't stopped Aussie gamers from snapping it up. GT5 Prologue debuted in the overall top 10 games chart at number one, according to data trackers GfK Australia.
Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain? is certainly no stranger to the overall game chart, with the game coming in at number two for the week of March 24-30. The Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock double pack for the Wii continues to sell strongly, taking out the fourth spot, while the 360 version can be found further down the chart at number eight. Last week's number one--Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for the Xbox 360--slipped five places into sixth place. Finishing off the week at number 10 is God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PlayStation Portable, which means Sony claimed both first and last positions in the overall chart last week.
Despite a strong first appearance on the PC charts at number one, Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath has failed to make it into the overall Australian games chart.
