Rumors, good or bad, are fun to muse over. When talking about rumors, Quartermann is a hot topic since Electronic Gaming Monthly's (EGM) rumor monger has a reputation for precise predictions. The latest batch of Quartermannly things involves the absence of Crackdown 2 and a mysterious mixed martial arts title from Electronic Arts. Head over to the full article if you want to learn more.

Ubisoft's next gen videogame title Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 hasn't just stirred up controversy, it has also muscled its way onto the top of the UK All Formats charts, knocking down Square Enix's Final Fantasy XII from the top spot in the process.

Despite logging impressive sales and winning a BAFTA award, the original Ghost Recon for Xbox 360 never got to to take the top spot.

This ends Final Fantasy XII's two week reign at the top, and it's now lodged in the number two position. Rockstar's budget-priced Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories sits at number three, while Sega's Sonic and the Secret Rings climbed up one spot to number four. Rounding out the top five is RealTime Worlds' Crackdown, which dropped three places to number 5.

Third time's the charm. This rings true for RealTime Worlds' crime-fighting superhero title Crackdown as it rolls into a dominating third week on top of GameFly's 360 charts. Despite what other people may say about what triggered Crackdown's success, this US$ 60 game is making waves.

And what's this? Electronic Arts' NBA Street Homecourt still latches on to Crackdown's tail, keeping the second seat warm and comfortable. Capcom's Lost Planet: Extreme Condition still hangs on to the top 3 spot. But the highlight of that week was the significant requests for God of War II for the Playstation 2.

Here are the rest of the results of GameFly's game popularity charts for the week ending February 16.
