Mini-games and trying not to be thick have maintained their allure in Spain and Germany according to new weekly chart data.

More Brain Training for DS is top of the pops in Germany, having to make do with third place in Spain, while Wii Play is second in Germany and first in Spain.

The main chart interloper at the moment is Burnout Paradise (7th in Germany, 2nd in Spain).

But, apart from a few PC stalwarts in Germany (Crysis, Call of Duty 4 and World of Warcraft all features), PS3 versions of Assassin's Creed and Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 in Spain, and the PSP SmackDown game, it's all Nintendo all the time.
