UK top 40: Pokemon White/Black on top

Fight Night Champion denied belt.

The fiendishly compelling Pokemon series romps back to life this week as Pokemon White and Black finish first and second in the UK all-formats top 40.

Fellow newcomer Fight Night Champion dances around in third.

Their arrival reshuffles the pack as Bulletstorm leapfrogs last week's leader Killzone 3 - those games now placing fourth and fifth respectively.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is sixth, Just Dance 2 seventh, FIFA 11 eighth, Dead Space 2 ninth and Wii Party 10th.

Lower-finishing newcomers are Dawn of War II: Retribution in 17th and MMO Rift in 18th.

THQ's new uDraw tablet device for Wii had a lacklustre first week, with bundled software uDraw Studio finishing 11th on the Wii specific chart.
