ELSPA Charts - PC - Brothers In Arms at no.1

We'll spare you the Dire Straits wisecracks. The combination of heavy TV support and a hardcore fanbase combined two markets which bought Brothers In Arms: Hell’s Highway in massive quantities and allowed the game to enter at no.1. Spore isn’t sticking to the Sims/2 pattern of topping the charts for months, let alone years – it’s back down to 2 this week, as the Warhammer Online dropped to 3. However, MMO games always have the bounceback potential of patches and add-ons (in WoW’s case, maybe Bradster is buying all the copies that kept it at no.9 with no Lich King in sight). The Colonization Remake with the sneaky Civ IV rebrand dropped to 5, but is now approaching Sims and WoW-like heights of unpirated sales.
The free multiplayer weekend was bound to have an immediate impact on the Crysis Games; the original dropped out of the charts whilst Warhead dropped two places to 6. Crytek is hoping the exposure will result in potential Steam-based, if not retail, sales. Cash on Delivery 4 dropped to 10, potentially its lowest chart position since release. After ten million copies worldwide though, ActiBlizz have certainly made their money out of it, even with the pirated accounts.
Lego Batman was another new entry at 11, knocking the Witcher Enhanced edition down to 15 and its progress will be interesting given that there was no Dark Knight videogame in the summer. STALKER Clear Sky dropped to 13 as the wait for the savegame-friendly megapatch continues. The complete and original Civ IV remains in the bottom half, trickling sales to new converts at 14. Mass Effect is back and it’s surprising that the free-add-on, together with surprising price cuts from EA, have helped jump-start the title’s sales again (plus, its DRM was relaxed prior to release, instead of waiting for the disasters that befell Spore and Crysis Warhead). Age of Empires III which re-entered at the bottom of the chart, remains at 19 but it’s Sins of a Solar Empire which has fallen to 20 this week.
