...and I'm sure everyone on this site was impatiently waiting for this title...
Week ending the 19/jul/2009
This week sees a modest number of new releases hitting retail shelves, mostly made up of budget titles.
However, Ubisoft brings out the most notable new game in the form of My Fitness Coach: Cardio Workout. This sequel to January’s MFC: Get In Shape focuses on cardio training with several workouts based on Boxercise.
Also out this week is Hysteria Hospital: Emergency Ward (Oxygen), Line Rider: Freestyle (Deep Silver) and Hail To The Chimp (South Peak).
Now that we're fully into the summer holiday season in Europe, the releases should start to be more scattered. At least, there's "Wii Sport Resort" next week (this friday), and then we have to wait for the last week of August to have some significant titles (in the name of "Batman: Arkham Asylum" and "The King of Fighters XII").
You can also check this VGChartz's news for a more detailed released schedule for this week. (Well, technically, only Purr Pals isn't cited.)

Chart-Track's news (on the All-Format chart) :
20/Jul/2009
The release of ‘Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince’ in cinemas has helped magic another All Formats No1 for EA, knocking their own title ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10’ (-20%) down from No1 to No3.
Sales of ‘Harry Potter’ only rise by 5%, but it is enough to see it pass both Tiger Woods and Activision-Blizzard’s film tie-in ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ which rises from No3 to No2 despite a 4% dip in sales.
It has been a very successful couple of months for the US publisher with 4 separate EA titles reaching No1 in the All Formats Chart for a total of 6 out of the past 7 weeks. They also now have a total of five games in the All Formats Top 10.
‘Wii Fit’ (-3%) continues its consistent good form, back up 2 places to No4, having remained in the All Formats Top 10 since the first week of the year.
‘Fight Night Round 4’ (-30%) is on the ropes, down from No2 to No5, while sales of Ubisoft’s ‘Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood’ (-27%) are down by a similar margin, however it only drops one place to No6.
‘The Sims 3’ and ‘Virtua Tennis 2009’ change places, the former up to No7 and the latter down to No8.
Perhaps price is import with ‘Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’ (-7%) continuing to outsell its younger brother ‘World At War’ by holding steady at No9.
EA round off the All Formats Top 10 with ‘EA Sports Active’ returning to the All Formats Top 10, up from No13 to No10.
‘Rhythm Paradise’ (+96%) re-enters the Top 40 at No21, aided by a TV advert starring Beyoncé.
