While the NPD Group has a weekly list of the top 10 best selling PC games in the US, they also go back and look at the overall monthly chart as well. For April, the top 10 list is dominated by Blizzard; it has four games in the top 10 including the number one best selling title World of Warcraft: Battle Chest (which has the original MMO game and the first expansion pack Burning Crusade in one package). Electronic Arts also did well; it has three Sims 2 titles in the top 10.Ubisoft's PC port of Assassin's Creed debuted at number two in April while Activision's Call of Duty 4 continues to sell well at number three. The sleeper hit of the year, Sins of a Solar Empire from Ironclad Games and Stardock, sticks with the list at number seven. May should see some major changes in the list with the debuts of Age of Conan and the PC version of Mass Effect, among others.
- 1 World Of Warcraft: Battle Chest - Blizzard
- 2 Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition - Ubisoft
- 3 Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Activision
- 4 The Sims 2 Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff - Electronic Arts
- 5 The Sims 2 Free Time - Electronic Arts
- 6 World Of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade - Blizzard
- 7 Sins Of A Solar Empire - Ironclad Games/Stardock
- 8 The Sims 2 Double Deluxe - Electronic Arts
- 9 World Of Warcraft - Blizzard
- 10 Warcraft III Battle Chest - Blizzard

Looks about usual. I'm glad to see Sins still holding in there as it is a fantastic game and deserves to sell well. I'm also glad to see Assassin's Creed PC towards to top of the charts. Stuff like this will remind publishers that the PC is still strong as ever and shouldn't be considered a second class citizen.
