1. Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II
2. World Of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
3. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe
4. The Sims 2 Deluxe
5. World Of Warcraft
6. World Of Warcraft Battle Chest
7. Spore
8. The Sims Carnival: SnapCity
9. The Sims 2 Apartment Life
10. World Of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade

It’s surprising that out of the ten best selling games, 4 are World of Warcraft titles and 4 are The Sims titles.

Lead designer Jonny Ebbert explained that it took months for them to get patches out to the player, thus creating long waiting times and not enough interaction with the community. Their online play was also flawed, which they hope will be fixed in the sequel due to Games for Windows Live being integrated.

Most interesting, however, is the revelation that the studio plans on releasing a steady stream of free downloadable content for legitimate buyers.

“Free downloadable, regularly accessible stuff that enhances the game and then that’s an incentive for the people who didn’t buy the game to buy it,” he said. “So we’ve got a really bold, robust strategy for that and we’re going to be revealing more details in about a month, but I think players are going to like it.”

The action-strategy sequel is due out soon.
