Only two Sims titles. Fortunately for EA, Battlefield Vietnam just hit stores and ought to climb the charts like a six year old on monkey bars.

Only like one game on that list, and it's one I'm surprised is still on there...

You a big Hoyle Casino 2004 fan as well?

Is that a US chart btw, is there anywhere that does worldwide charts?

 

[Volourn]

Ha.

i quite liked HotU, myself. however, expansions never do as well as the original simply because you have a limited audience... i am surprised it's still on there.

Age of Mythology rules you fools

 

[Voss]

Bleh.

They could have done something interesting with it, but no, another generic RTS in the style of Dune II. Enough already.

The first few Delta Force games were great. I don't know about the more recent ones, though.

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Dear lord. Only 2 Sims games on the charts? Quickly, someone release more expansions, like The Sims: Boogie Nights, and The Sims: My Mother Was An Atom Mutant!

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

You know the best part about The Sims? They stopped patching the game and just included the bug fixes in the expansions. That's almost as good as the time EA released that UO game a week or so before they put the servers up for it, thus releasing the first game in history that was literally unplayable at it's release.

Here's to hoping they totally botch The Sims 2.

What the hell is Rise of Nations doing in there?

Heh, Star Wars Galaxies did the same thing. HURRAH FOR MORONS.
