The Wii port of Monster Hunter G joins in as well. And at the end of our list is Killzone 2 making its way into the hearts of the Eastern gaming scene.

With the the strong Pokemon sales in the previous week, no wonder they decided to give Gold and Silver DS remakes. Now those two will definitely make the charts when they come out.
