This week we see, hopefully, the downfall of Sexy Poker. This is the one title I've felt in a long time didn't deserve to be as high as it was. It's only capitalizing on one thing and it doesn't do it that well. Reel Fishing Challenge continues to hold on to that #1 spot and it doesn't look to be going anywhere any time soon. There was one new entrant into the charts this week with Family Slot Car Racing taking a spot away from Ant Nation.

The two games that don't surprise me for being on the list as long as they are would be Dr. Mario and Tetris Party. Those two games have proven to be timeless classics and will probably continue to be on this list for a very long time. World of Goo continues to bob along even after dipping off of the charts for a while. I think that proves that good games are good no matter when they were released. I would be interested to know what brought about the resurgence in its popularity.

The biggest mover of the week was Overturn, which fell five spots and is in danger of dropping off the list next week. Let's keep an eye one that one. Come back next week to see the developments and don't forget to leave a comment down below on your thoughts for the list.
