Chart Track's top 10 - Image 1 


And the lean All-Platforms List from pop culture trackers Chart Track begins with your friendly neighborhood Spidey, who according to the gamers at the UK, is sitting neatly on top of the list for the third week in a row. Multiplatform Spider-Man 3 actually owes it all to the PlayStation 3 and PS2 fans, especially to the recent release of the Collector's Edition.

It appears that the charts has been dominated by games available for the Nintendo Wii, however, with around five games from multiplatform releases and two as first-party titles. Electronic Arts' Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 takes its hat off to the gamers of the new-gen console, being noted as the biggest jumper in the list for this week - a clear leap from the 10th spot to number 6.

Microsoft and Sony bring around four games a piece, although the Xbox 360 keeps a single exclusive title with Realtime World's Crackdown. Crackdown is also this week's new entrant to the list, leaping in to the 8th spot from the 19th. Sony on the other hand has a collection of titles for the PS2, PlayStation 3, and the PSP on the list.

Sitting comfortably in number two for three weeks is Electronic Arts' Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, raking in the advantages of topping both the PC and Xbox 360 charts in the region. Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 6 enters the top three from the 4th spot. Office Create's Cooking Mama steps up from the 6th to enter the top five. Here's a rundown:
  1. Spider-Man 3 (Activision)
  2. Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (Electronic Arts)
  3. Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (Konami)
  4. Wii Play (Nintendo)
  5. Cooking Mama (Nintendo)
  6. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 (Electronics Arts)
  7. FIFA 07 (Electronic Arts)
  8. Crackdown (Microsoft)
  9. Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training (Ubisoft)

Spider Man 3  - Image 1Everybody's favorite wall-crawler is still here to stay, as we find Spider Man 3 the most consistent name found among this week's GameFly game rental charts. But while Activision's title based on the movie holds its top post for the PS3 and Xbox 360 console, a quick scan on the rest of this week's top picks indicate that Spidey's Wii port has folded, with Super Paper Mario still holding fast to the console's top picks.

The same goes for the PSP scene, with Spider-Man 3 seated at the tail end of the portable's top five - the number one post being held by a phalanx of a demand for 300: March to Glory. Pokemania also appears to have defeated the Marvel icon at the DS scene, with Pokemon Diamond and Pearl dominating the first two slots.

Spiderman 3 still on top - Image 1"Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can..." Aside from web-slinging and extra-sensory powers, spiders can apparently stay stuck on top of the charts for three weeks in a row too. Yes, for the week ending April 20, Spiderman 3 has again topped GameFly's chart for "Most Requested Game" across all platforms.

Also comfortably maintaining their spots on second and third places are Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars and Super Paper Mario, respectively. Come next week, however, we could see the likes of Pirates of the Carribean smuggling into the top three.

Now as for the specific round up of the most request games per console (PS3, 360, Wii) and handheld (PSP, NDS), check out the "Full Article" link below!

Xbox 360 requests bring Spider-Man 3 to the top of the charts again - Image 1Our friendly neighborhood web-slinger must have some really strong silk in that webbing. Still clinging at the number one spot of the all-platform charts, Activision's Spider-Man 3 remains as the subscriber base's most requested game for this week. Treading carefully behind it is Electronic Arts' upcoming Xbox 360 port of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

Unfortunately, Ubisoft's TMNT drops its hold on the third spot, leaving Nintendo's Super Paper Mario to squeeze itself underneath the RTS titan title.

It would be a miracle if Super Paper Mario could still hang on, but perhaps with the nifty A button, it flip dimension and sneak its way to number one again. (*braces for sarcastic remark*)

Next up is the top five games per platform. We're singling out the platforms and choosing only the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, DS, PSP and Wii.

Click of Full Article to view the top five games for the Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, DS and PSP for the week ending April 13.

Back in August, we watched the GUI in action for the Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn project. The project, in case some people are reading about this homebrew for the firs time, is an attempt to bring the popular real-time PC strategy game to the DS. The developer, who goes by the name cncds_project, has been working on the game for quite some time now.

If you've been lurking the project's WIP blog, you'd know that the developer had been talking about Maps and Map Editor. At this point, he was able to post a couple of screenshots of the Map Editor.

As you can see, there are red cross tiles all over the place. They're simply blank parts of the map. You just need to choose a template displayed on the right hand side and position it to the appropriate map area. To make this process quicker, the developer is planning to add scroll bars.

Don't be put off by the small map area as it's just a portion of the entire area. The Map Properties prompts a dialog box where map name and size can be changed. Further improvements include "layers" for the terrain, buildings, AI triggers, etc.

With this update, it becomes clear that the project is slowly taking shape. We know that a big project like this takes time to complete, but we gotta admit that things are looking pretty good.

You're probably wondering how cncds_project is doing with his recreation of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn for the Nintendo DS. Well, he's been regularly updating his blog to fill us in on the recent developments of the project. And by the looks of it, there has been substantial progress since we last posted his WIP report.

At this point, the key navigation of the menus is now working by using a base class for the Graphical User Interface (GUI) components. The developer still has to "tie in a callback with the list component so it can actually trigger the loading of the map in the list."

In the screens below, you'll see the Command & Conquer list control with the available maps to play. A button is highlighted to show what's been selected. The artwork might get your attention momentarily, but be reminded that it's just a placeholder artwork. The third screen shows a slightly better map file.

Watch the video to see the GUI in action.


Some people may not realize the amount of work needed to recreate the immensely popular PC real-time strategy game for the Nintendo handheld, so our hat is off to this guy who is ready to complete this ambitious (but doable) undertaking. We're pretty sure loyal fans of the Command & Conquer series can't wait to get their hands on the final version.
