This week the chart has no fewer than four new entries in the top ten, with the hotly tipped Frontlines: Fuel of War making its debut at number four.

Ubisoft's Lost: The Video Game, released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, jumped ahead of THQ's epic at number three, but it only did so by 153 sales.

This week also saw a surge in sales of Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, jumping from last week's 27 spot to reaching this week's number nine.
