(*in terms of numbers not $$)

1. The Sims -- EA
Sick people like to wall their Sims up and watch them slowly perish.

2. Who wants to be a Millionaire -- Disney
Now that the fabled 2nd Edition of this gaming masterpiece has been unleashed (foisted) upon the mainstream game buyers ("look ma, its really got Regis!")... expect that to dominate the top ten for the next several years too. Sigh.

3. Roller Coaster Tycoon -- Hasbro
Sick people like to build coasters guaranteed to break down and crash, thus killing lots of park goers.

4. Rainbow Six: Urban Operations -- Red Storm
Sick people kill the hostages and try to take the terrorists out for a beer.

5. Age Of Empires II -- Microsoft
Sick people invade Poland over and over again in the Barbarossa and Genghis Kahn campaigns. Leave Poland alone you sickos.

6. Soldier of Fortune -- Activision
Sick people like this game. They also think it's very realistic. Here's hoping sick people don't go out and shoot people to see if it is.

7. Roller Coaster Tycoon Corkscrew Follies -- Hasbro
Sick people like to remove exits and let their park visitors fall into the water and drown.

8. Grand Slam Bridge -- EA
Sick people play this... wait a minute. Grand Slam What? Bridge? Did you give your grandma a gift certificate to EB or something?

9. Starcraft -- Havas
Sick people are the only ones who haven't bought this game yet. It's been in the top ten for years now! Years! Who the hell doesn't own it yet?

10. Sim City 3000 -- EA
Sick people like to summon Godzilla or some other more natural disaster to destroy their city... aw hell, everyone likes doing that in this game.

Until next week then. It's a date. I'll bring the whine.
