Good news on the Nintendo front? Well, there is a GameCube game in the Top 40 this week - Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance has been a huge success on each of the consoles. The sad news is that Star Wars Bounty Hunter for the 'Cube only survived one week in the charts. The Sims on the PS2 manages to hold off the stiff competition from newcomers this week, especially the latest PC Command & Conquer game 'Generals'. Another PC game, 'Caesar III' crashes into the charts again at No.14 thanks to a budget release. Otherwise there isn't much activity in the top end of the chart.

Surprisingly there is a LOT of change in the GC charts this week. Thanks to the hype surrounding the 'return' of the Mortal Kombat series, Deadly Alliance fights its way into the top slot, booted Star Wars: Bounty Hunter down to No.3, whilst Super Mario Sunshine hangs in the runner-up spot. Thanks to the new 'free game' offer, Luigi's Mansion rebounds back up to No.7. The most popular American Football series gets a new entry at a respectable No.9, wrestling continues its upsurge with WWE Wrestlemania X8 grappling up to No.11, and the bottom-end of the chart sees four new entries: Ace Golf (No.17), NBA Live 2003 (No.18), Knockout Kings 2003 (No.19) and a re-entry for Turok Evolution (No.20).
