GamesIndustry.biz reports that the US PC chart was once again dominated by releases from Blizzard and Electronic Arts as The Sims 2 Apartment Life expansion pack made it to the top of the list for the week ending August 30.
According to the latest data from NPD, the World of Warcraft: Battle Chest came in at second, with The Sims 2 Double Deluxe taking third place.
The original World of Warcraft title was fourth, with the Spore Creature Creator in fifth, followed by the only non Blizzard/EA title in the top ten - Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm from Greenwave was in at number six.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
