Stardock has released Impulse's top ten weekly sales chart for the week ending on November 21.
Galactic Civilizations IV is more focused than it's predecessors, and is shaping up to be a more fun game for it.
From Xfire: "VR still has massive untapped potential, but finally the medium is starting to become more mainstream - here are some IPs that should make the leap."
VGChatz's Taneli Palola: "There's no question that during these years the overall popularity of the genre took a significant hit, as most games within it specialized even further by adding new elements from other types of games into their gameplay loops and consequently became increasingly niche as the years wore on.
However, this doesn't in any way mean that the period was devoid of great games. Quite the contrary, in fact. Arguably some of the greatest RTS titles ever made came out around this time, and much of this was because many developers were increasingly familiar and comfortable with adding new twists and gameplay elements to the familiar formula. As such, even when the genre's popularity dwindled, many studios were still creating excellent and groundbreaking titles almost every year, just for a smaller audience than in years past."
those were fun years red alert star craft command and conquer well when westwood studio made good games before EA brought them like bioware...
be on top?
</joke>
I actually like Impulse better than Steam solely because of the lack of DRM on most title. Those titles that do have DRM have it stated on the game page so you know what you're getting into from the get go.
