It was a good week for StarCraft 2, selling a huge 1.5 million in the first 48 hours. But now the party has ended and StarCraft 2 is no longer number one, with the top spot being reclaimed by Toy Story 3, in what must be sweet revenge (if video games held grudges) in that it was StarCraft 2 that kicked it off the top position in the first place.

StarCraft 2 still lands at a decent spot of number 4. The most surprising this about this week’s chart is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which has gone back up to number 2 position. Either the demo has done wonders or the new map packs have somehow provided a huge boost. Either way, Activision aren’t going to complain.

The rest of the entrants in the charts doesn’t see any other surprises, with possible exception for Dragon Quest IX, which has done really well in the UK for a Dragon Quest game. This bodes well for future Dragon Quest games and really proves that the Nintendo DS is the perfect fit for the series.

Here’s the top 10 UK all formats charts in full:

01. Toy Story 3 (Disney)
02. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Activision)
03. Dance On Broadway (Ubisoft)
04. StarCraft II: Wings Of Liberty (Activision)
05. Red Dead Redemption (Rockstar)
06. Just Dance (Ubisoft)
07. Dragon Quest IX (Square Enix)
08. Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (Warner)
09. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo)
10. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (EA)

You know, Toy Story 3 being number one again has given me an idea for Toy Story 4; Woody, Buzz and gang face an alien threat from the Zerg and are initially overpowered but through guts and willpower manage to fight back and save the day. I’m expecting an Oscar in the post.
