LEGO Indiana Jones has swung back to the top of the UK all-formats top 40, beating rival movie tie-in WALL-E into second place.

Nintendo continues to dominate the chart with Wii Fit at three, Wii Play at four, Super Smash Bros. Brawl at five, Mario Kart Wii at six and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games at seven.

Battlefield: Bad Company slipped two places to eight, and is followed by Big Beach Sports at nine. Kung Fu Panda rounds the top 10 out as the third movie tie-in in the limelight.

The only new entry this week is Guitar Hero: On Tour for DS, which turns it up at 11. Series sibling Guitar Hero III is at 15 and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is at 25.

Biggest climber this week is Sports Party up from 29 to 13, whilst the biggest tumblers are The Bourne Conspiracy down from 21 to 31, and Sonic and the Secret Rings (which had a sequel announced yesterday) down from 22 to 33.

Buzz! Quiz TV falls off the list after three weeks on sale, proving my "stayer" prediction to be as wrong as Margaret Thatcher.
