LEGO Indy takes top spot from GTA IV

Full UK top 40 inside.

LEGO Indiana Jones has swung in ahead of Grand Theft Auto IV to take top spot in the UK all-formats chart.

Demand for the building-block game was whipped up by the recent release of the Indiana Jones film, resulting in it outselling the Rockstar game by more than three to one.

Grand Theft Auto IV only just managed to stay ahead of Race Driver: GRID at three, which was tailed by chart familiars Mario & Sonic at the Olympics and Wii Play at four and five, respectively.

Ninja Gaiden II spends its first week at six, holding off a surge from Mario Kart Wii up from 10 to seven.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, Call of Duty 4 and FIFA 08 rounded the list off at eight, nine, and 10, respectively.

Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit only just missed the top flight to take 11 after its first weekend on sale, while Wii mini-game title Sports Island was close behind with its debut at 14.

Link's Crossbow Training managed to jump back in the top 40 at 24, and the PC version of Mass Effect saw it re-enter the chart at 26.

Other interesting points were Guitar Hero III staying seven places better off than Rock Band, and Age of Conan tumbling further from 16 to 27, although still maintaining its grip at the top of the PC chart.
