Creative Assembly's newly released Empire: Total War is currently ruling the Steam chart.
Once again, this week's retail chart has shown that the PC gaming community is one of the few areas in which Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 franchise can occasionally trounce football in terms of popularityl. Dawn of War II is still holding onto its number 1 spot for the second week running, while Football Manager 2009 is clinging on to its number 2 position. Meanwhile, there's a new entry from Tom Clancy's EndWar at number 9, and Grand Theft Auto IV has climbed a couple of places from number 9 to number 7. You can see the

Discuss in the forums ReplyNumber 9 - 'Tom Clayncy's: EndWar' - omit y.
Sentence after top 20 is a bit of a revelation as it mentions 'Dawn of War III' - where can haz pls?
I recently played the demo of HAWX and it seems pretty cool - a bit like Air Combat with an extra iota of strategy added.
So, your comments about spell checking other people's spellchecking are, in fact, in dire need of spell checking to know the difference between spellchecking and proper spell checking.
That, dear friends, ends today's lesson in "irony". Have a nice day!

Awesome. A one post wonder.
Muphry's Law strikes again!
So was I. I hadn't played it before but I do like it more than 2k3/4: it feels a lot more like the original, though I'm not a fan of the art direction. Still can't beat that 1999 feeling, but its close enough. I'll be sticking to classic for LAN parties though.
