Sony is celebrating its second All Formats No.1 of the year with God of War II, which proved too strong for the likes of Codemasters’ Lord of the Rings Online (No.2) and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (No.3 thanks to the PS3 release).

It was a strong week for Sony’s first party releases, with God of War II joined by Singstar: Pop Hits (No.6) and Buzz!: The Mega Quiz (No.16).

Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar was released a little earlier than the rest (available from Tuesday) and becomes the second fastest selling online-only PC title, behind WoW: The Burning Crusade.

Last week’s No.1, Pokemon Ranger, falls to No.5, but it was another solid week for Nintendo with Wii Play at No.4, Hotel Dusk: Room 215 up to No.11 and Diddy Kong Racing DS at No.13.

New releases this coming Friday are dominated by the multiplatform juggernaut Spider-Man 3, but there are several other releases also likely to chart well. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops finally makes it to the UK, as does Eledees for Wii (formerly Elebits). The DS sees the release of Final Fantasy III and PS3 owners can get their hands on Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom.
