24/02: Famitsu Game Rankings: 15th Feb - 21st Feb 2010

Good week! How's everyone doing? Good? Great! Well, let's look at the chart this week. Oh, Resident Evil gets top spot, which is slightly surprising, since I was sure everyone had enough of Resident Evil 5 the first time it came out. But add some otherwise DLC content and the prelude of motion controls and would you look at that; top spot. No wonder Square re-releases their games all the time. It's a lucrative business, it seems. We wouldn't much stand it in the west, though. God Eater, Mario and Dragon Quest all fill up subsequent places. Heavy Rain comes in at a somewhat underwhelming 6th place, what with it being the only PS3 game this year I've remotely even cared about. Pokemon and Zelda make a return to the top 10 as well. That's about it, folks. Full list below;
