Good for gaming?
Have you seen Nancy drew? It looks childish. To make in the top 10 is ridiculous. And a mockery of what PC gaming believes in.

Ummm, no. Childish responses make responders look childish. What exactly is "PC gaming" supposed to "believe in", anyway?

Anyone know what "the NPD" is? Maybe if we can figure that out, we can begin to rationalize whatever biases the list might have.

What the hell does PC gaming believe in? It's just gaming. Not some sort of cult.

I have to agree here. What about this list do people think is "bs"? That they think the figures are wrong? Or maybe they don't like the fact that some people like to buy certain games? These are simple (objective) sales figures, people; not some (subjective) "which game we think is the awesomest game evar" list.

You can call it a cult if you want. But, come on, Nancy Drew on the PC? You have to be serious especially in the the top 10?

What a cheesy game. How can you expect PC gamers to play such cheese?

It actually shows that quality games haven't been made a while... so people have to go to something genius and oldschool. If Starcraft was a bike it would have round wheels compared to others who have square, rectangular wheels.
