Activision’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen stays steady at No.3, but EA are breathing down their neck as Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince jumps up six places to No.4 (sales up 71%). We can probably expect the speccy little wizard to shift more units once the film comes out this week.

Virtua Tennis 2009 doesn’t seem to have suffered from the fact that Wimbledon is over, as it moves up two places to No.7, its highest chart placing since release.

Activision’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare increases sales by 10% and moves back into the Top 10. It’s now a full seven places ahead of its sequel, Call of Duty: World at War. If Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 doesn’t manage to be the best-selling game in the UK when it’s released, then I’ll eat my hat.

There’s only one new entry in the Top 40 this week, and that honour goes to Sega’s Wii-exclusive The Conduit, which launches at No.25. It’s the eighth best-selling Wii game this week, but stay tuned to DarkZero for our verdict on whether it’s really worth buying.

The biggest winner this week is Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, which moves up twelve places to No.26. The biggest loser is Overlord II, falling ten places to No.28. This week both Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter IV have finally disappeared from the Top 40.
