Activision may beam as poster-child Modern Warfare 2 racks up a fourth winning week in the UK all-formats chart, but newcomer Tony Hawk: Ride landed face-first on the pavement.

The motion-sensing skateboard game missed the Top 40 entirely and landed at 29th in the PS3 chart and 31st in the Xbox 360 chart. The Wii version is nowhere to be seen.

Ubisoft may also grimace at the first-week performance of James Cameron's Avatar: The Game. This missed the UK all-formats top 40 altogether and settled for 18th in the PC chart, 19 in the PS3 chart and 21st in the Xbox 360 chart. DS and Wii versions did not place.

However, there's a silver lining for Ubisoft, as the big-screen launch of James Cameron's Avatar has yet to happen. Expect sales to jump following the film's 17th December UK launch.

We doubt such a sales-bump will be felt by EA's The Saboteur, which snuck into 39th after its first week on sale.

Rounding out the rest of the top 10 were FIFA 10 (2), Assassin's Creed II (3), New Super Mario Bros. Wii (4), Wii Sports Resort (5), Wii Fit Plus (6), Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (7), LEGO Indiana Jones 2 (8), Forza Motorsport 3 (9) and Mario Kart Wii (10).

The continued performance of games like Mario Kart Wii is phenomenal, although perhaps this illustrates a shortage of options for shoppers picking up a Wii for Christmas.
