O2 mobile game download charts and new releases: August 8th
|
| O2 mobile charts

It's all about Sunday afternoon idle pursuits with the new releases this week.

You can pull up a bar stool and get comfy with a pint of bitter and some pork scratchings for The Sun Pub Sports, or you can sink into the couch and take in some cricket action with Brian Lara 2008.

The pastime of catapulting penguins is a little less than typical for a Sunday afternoon pursuit, but given how much fun Crazy Penguin Catapult is, it's bound to catch on before long.

Over in the charts, things have had their typical rank and file reshuffle. The ever present Jewel Quest II is commanding the top spot while Guitar Hero Mobile III has sank all the way to the bottom of the chart. The other usual suspects are all present and correct including Bejeweled, Deal or No Deal, Brain Challenge and Midnight Pool. But we don't want to spoil all of the surprises here, read on for all of the juicy details.

And remember, all the games below are available to buy via the O2 games portal or by texting the short code from a compatible O2 handset. You can also click 'Track It!' to be sure to catch next week's chart. Enjoy.
