Yay Half-Life is on the list! So is Doom! Surprised that the Sims is on the list though, more more that they are the highest sellers. I suppose it's because it's the most organized virtual-life type game out there.

The Sims beat The Sims 2? I didn't think it was as popular, but I guess since it's been around longer...

I thought that WoW is first, in front of others by a large margin.
That list will definitely change, or experience some shifting at least.

That's quite a bunch. It's not surprising though that the Sims and Wow made it up there. However, their sales figures are huge.

I checked the wikipedia page (Link) for the best selling games of all times and noticed quite a peculiar thing. The PC games sold a lot less than console in numbers, now I agree you can attribute that to the fact that people prefer consoles over PC when it comes to gaming but I'm pretty sure you can't deny the hand of piracy here.

I'm surprised about Cossacks. I wouldn't have guessed it sold so much.

That greatest games I loved were for the PC. Earlier on for the C-64.
It's a shame what to same of the great software houses.

The good thing about WoW is, that Blizzard has enough
money to make other hopefully great games.

I hope Diablo III is worth the wait. As far as I've seen it's a huge improvement over its predecessors but I wouldn't want Blizzard to mess up on this masterpiece.

Let's hope that it will keep the spirit of what Diablo is.
I wouldn't want it to be influenced by WoW elements,
or anything, that just wouldn't fit.

The title is misleading.
I thought that you were talking about Space Invaders.

I'm disappointed that Duke Nukem isn't there, its (in my opinion) the best of the early fps.
