[Our mysterious part-time Japanese correspondent 50ft. Samurai once again brings us a look at how Western developed games are doing in the Land of the Rising Sun.]

For the third straight week, Killzone 2 is the number one gaijin game! I want Sony to know this. I want them to know that they are number one somewhere. The only somewhere that matters: in the hearts of Japanese gamers who like killing stuff.
Pangya jumps up to second place among gaijin games this week, and the PlayStation Portable Grand Theft Auto games go spit roast, placing third and fifth, tag teaming X-Blades at fourth place.
No real surprises this week, but the increasing number of PSP games on the chart is a good indicator of how strong the platform is here in Japan. Sure, everyone might be playing Monster Hunter on trains, but when they are alone in the bathroom, it’s all about some western gaming.
