Yes we are in the home stretch of June now but that doesn't stop the NPD Group, no siree Bob. They now have the top 10 best selling games for the entire month of May 2008 for us to check out. If you have been following the weekly lists this monthly edition should come as no surprise as Funcom's MMO Age of Conan is firmly on top with the now sold out Collector's Edition coming in at number three. Without further ado, here's the list:- 1. Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Funcom/Eidos
- 2. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe - Electronic Arts
- 3. Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Collector's Edition - Funcom/Eidos
- 4. World of Warcraft: Battle Chest - Blizzard
- 5. The Sims 2 Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff - Electronic Arts
- 6. World of Warcraft - Blizzard
- 7. World Of Warcraft: Burning Crusade - Blizzard
- 8. The Sims 2 FreeTime - Electronic Arts
- 9. Sim City 4 Deluxe - Electronic Arts
- 10. 15000 Games - Viva Media

Viva Media 15,000 games may be a best seller, but that would be due to its fraudulent advertising. It does not contain "15,000" games.. it contains relatively few games that have 15,000 boards. For example, their SINGLE Sudoku program has 2,400 puzzles (similar to a Sudoku book with 2,400 pages). That they count this as 2,400 of their "15,000 games" is unethical marketing to the max.
Their program also has an extremely low compatibility factor, as echoed by many reviews on the web. It not only doesn't work with Vista, it doesn't work with XP nor apparently consistently with any version of Windows.
This is a very poorly produced package, obviously intended to use marketing hype to sell quantity, regardless of quality.
