Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has notched up a third consecutive week at the top of the UK All-Formats Chart.

However, it remains one of only a handful performing consistently as the first quarter gets into gear and newcomers rattle the list.

Lost: The Video Game managed its first week at three, beaten to two by the Duracell-like performance of Brain Training and its fresh DS Lite bundle offer.

Frontlines: Fuel of War entered at four, followed by Call of Duty 4 at five and other newcomer Lost Odyssey at six.

More Brain Training jumped back up into seven, echoed by renewed zeal for Fifa Street 3 at eight and a leap from 29 to nine for Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 - thanks to a PSP release.

Rounding off the chart at 10 was fresh Sims 2 expansion FreeTime.

Other notable movers were Wii Play falling from five to 27, Devil May Cry from 4 to 15, FIFA 08 from 8 to 17 and Turok from 7 to 18.

Assassin's Creed also tumbled down from 13 to 28, The Simpsons from 10 to 29, and Need For Speed ProStreet from 16 to 30.
