The results are in for ChartTrack's top games in the UK All Format category for the week ending October 27, and it is a favorable one for soccer games for all platforms.

As expected the latest title under Konami's hit soccer franchise, Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and PS2) is topping the charts. Quite remarkable for a game that was released only last October 26. The former chart topper Football Manager 2008 by Sega for the PC and Mac OS X is now sitting on third place, while EA's FIFA 08 (for the PS3, PS2, Xbox 360, DS, PSP, Wii, PC) is still holding on to its second placer spot from the previous week, after getting kicked unceremoniously by Football Manager 2008 on the week ending October 6.

As for games from other genres, Nintendo's hit portable adventure The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is also not moving from its fourth spot since last weeks's charts. Bungie Studios' Halo 3 is still riding the waves of its popularity (though a bit subdued), and is now occupying the 8th spot in the current charts.

Here's the list of the top ten games that made it in ChartTrack's All Format category for the week ending October 27:

1. Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Konami)
2. FIFA 08 (EA)
3. Football Manager 2008 (Sega)
4. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Nintendo)
5. Ratatouille (THQ)
6. The Orange Box (EA)
7. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Nintendo)
8. Halo 3 (Microsoft)
9. High School Musical: Makin' The Cut! (Disney Interactive Studios)
10. Crash of the Titans (Vivendi Games)

 

FIFA 08 had remained on the top spot of the Chart Track UK ladder ever since it dethroned Halo 3 (for the week ending October 6). Now, the football mogul is finally kicked right out of the top spot by... drumroll, please... another football game. Sega's Football Manager 2008 for the PC and Mac OS X platforms has debuted at #1 for the week ending October 20.

Former king FIFA 08 (PS3, PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, and DS) landed not so far away at the second spot, which is followed by two new entrants in the UK charts. The Orange Box (Half-Life 2, HL2: Episode 1 and 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal) from Valve and Electronic Arts takes the third spot, while the Nintendo DS' The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass clocks in at fourth place. Halo 3 caps the top five spots.

1. Football Manager 2008
2. FIFA 08
3. The Orange Box
4. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
5. Halo 3
6. Project Gotham Racing 4
7. Ratatouille
8. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
9. Resistance: Fall of Man
10. Crash of the Titans

Yes, it seems that Europeans do love their football. Heck, the sports simulation title is even scheduled to hit the PSP sometime this Christmas in the form of Football Manager Handheld 2008. Anyone wanna place their bets as early as now that the PSP version will eventually claim the top spot once it gets released?
