The pre-order of Killing Floor has already entered the Steam chart at number 2.
After spectacularly stomping into the top 10 last week, the latest Riddick instalment, Assault on Dark Athena, has already nosedived all the way down to number 19. Bizarrely, though, the opposite appears to have happened with Red Alert 3, which has admirably scrambled back up to number 7 from number 15. Meanwhile, it's still business as usual at the top, with Football Manager 2009 and Empire: Total War taking the top two positions respectively. You can see the
retail top 20 for the week ending 2 May below:

Diving further into the chart reveals a re-entry from Dead Space at number 17, while Star Wars: The Best of PC has turned up at number 18. Interestingly, ELSPA lists this Star Wars collection as a new entry that's only been in the chart for one week, but as far as we can see it's the same collection that was released at the end of 2006. Meanwhile, F.E.A.R. 2 is continuing to climb back up the ranks to number 12, and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has now exited the chart altogether. You can see the full

Again, the Steam chart is much more interesting this week, with three new entries. Velvet Assassin has entered the chart at number 7, while Plants vs. Zombies has taken the number 3 spot. The big news, however, is that the pre-order of Killing Floor (pictured) has already entered the chart at number 2. Starting out as a
mod for Unreal Tournament 2004, Killing Floor has now been packaged into a game in its own right, and it's proving to be very popular on Steam. You can currently pre-order the game from Steam for £11.24, which will save you a few quid from the standard £14.99 asking price. You can see the full
Steam top 10 below:
01 Left 4 Dead
(Last week: 2)
02 Killing Floor
(New-entry - pre-order)
03 Plants vs. Zombies

04 Counter-Strike: Source

05 Empire: Total War
