Gooo~ Mass Effect! Glad to see that there are enough (intellectually) matured audience in the PC market to keep it on the chart.

God, I know. Hopefully we won't have to wait forever for the sequels after they hit the 360. Although, since MS has stated they avoid dual releases, it will probably be so. I'm hungry for both the "Bring Down the Sky" download as well as the sequel. Best RPG experience in quite a while, even better than the Witcher.
Good also to see WoW on top, though I think AoC is going to peak fast, like Guild Wars did.

Mass Effect was disappointingly short...and the vehicle missions....boring...It's a shame because the story itself was very good, but all the other stuff to do was just the same over and over and over and over. Honestly not sure why everyone is raving about it so much!

I swear that at least 40% of all sales of WoW are to gold farming companies which then get shut down within a fortnight so they buy them again and again.
I have seen a tally that said their had been 12 million boxed game sales in the UK, I seriously doubt 1/5 of the entire population has bought this game.
STill blizzard must not mind, its money in their pockets.

30 hours of good gaming to me isn't bad at all, though I would have preferred more "story" to the side missions. A few were scripted but most were pretty generic. The Vehicle missions were boring but there were not many of them. I loved the combat, not used to "cover" combat but I really enjoyed it. Made it much more strategic.
As to UK selling 12 million copies, I've never seen anything like that. And gold sellers are not that prevelant, though they are an issue.
