Got Play-Asia on your browser tab? We'll be taking a quick look at a recent software sales chart Japan tabulated by the Media Create group. This latest list puts Kekkaishi: Karasumori Ayakashi Kidan for the DS at the top post, with second place taken by Bleach: Heat the Soul for the PSP.  Third place goes to Shin Lucky Star Moe Drill (DS), the game version of the recently released "Lucky Star" anime, best known for its parody of modern pop culture (that includes video games and anime, FYI). Unfortunately, the anime hasn't been licensed for a U.S. release.

Other favorites included in the list are Revenant Wings, The Lion War, Gyakuten Saiban 4, and Ouendan 2. We also make special note of Forza Motorsport 2, which appears to be the lone Xbox 360 title in this top 30 (translated list courtesy of Kotaku):

 » Good job Forza

Why do people feel the need to post with other users names? If youre gonna post then at least be original instead of just imitating someone else.

Anyways, who cares if there are no PS3 games on the list? Quit trying to start flame wars, theyre pointless.
