    8. Duke Nukem Forever - PC, PS3, Xbox 360

    This is pretty amazing... I bought the game and enjoyed it, but won't buy any DLC for it :D But it really amazes me to still be selling like that...

    I think that Duke's arguably immature and dated construction will suit more than a few console players (not all of them - I'm not trolling here) and it is because of them that it is still in the top ten.

    That's just plain offensive to be honest. It's a crap game, but how many times have we seen crap games stay in the charts? I agree it would suit some, but train simulator X (or is it truck?) would suit some people, it's not really a bad thing that not everyone wants the same thing from a game.

    Don't understand why it's offensive. I stated I wasn't trolling and so wasn't trying to provoke a reaction, simply posting that my conjecture is that if you were to look at the breakdown of those Duke Nukem sales, I believe that it's reasonable to assume that the majority of them would have been made by console owners. Since a significant proportion of those type of consoles tend to be owned by younger males (as in sub 30's) which, like it or not, are proven to be attracted by DNF's somewhat banal humour and tired gameplay, I think my comment is a fair one on balance.

    I'm not necessarily saying that DNF being in the top ten is a bad thing, or even a good thing. It was just a throwaway comment on the game's position in the chart. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I say again though - I'm not trying to be disparaging or negative about consoles, console owners, gingers, bearded lesbians or anything else people might care to try and pretend to be offended about.

    :)

    it's £7.50 on PC. SO a bit of a bargain. What leagues does fifa cover now? And is it still better than Pro Evo? I used to play pro evo all the time and then suddenly, fifa was better.

    Can we get a review of Trauma. I saw it on steam this past week and it sorta looked like a versions of MYST except instead of being in a book world your stuck in the mind of a woman in a coma. Could be interesting!

    It's available for free at http://www.traumagame.com/. I bought it as I liked it and wanted to support the developer, but you can play it online for free. It's pretty short, the main endings are very quick and easy, but I haven't completed all the alternative scene endings yet.
