Even though it was officially on sale for only the last few days of October that was apparently enough to push Fallout 3 to the top of the best selling PC games for the entire month of October, according to info from the NPD Group. Bethesda Softworks' post apocalypse RPG edged out Electronic Arts' alien evolution sim Spore for the top spot. Number three belongs to Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy by Her Interactive, showing that this series of casual adventure games continues to gain popularity. Far Cry 2 from Ubisoft and Warhammer Online from EA's Mythic Entertainment rounded out the top five:

1. Fallout 3 - Bethesda Softworks
2. Spore - Electronic Arts
3. Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy - Her Interactive
4. Far Cry 2 - Ubisoft
5. Warhammer Online: Age Of Reckoning - Mythic/EA
6. World Of Warcraft: Battle Chest - Blizzard
7. The Sims 2 Apartment Life - Electronic Arts
8. Fallout 3 Collectors Edition - Bethesda Softworks
9. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe - Electronic Arts
10. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Electronic Arts
11. World Of Warcraft - Blizzard
12. Civilization IV: Colonization - Firaxis/2K Games
13. World Of Warcraft: Burning Crusade - Blizzard
14. Crysis: Warhead - Crytek/EA

Is it possible to list actual sales numbers for the titles on this list? I am curious to know for instance how many copies of Fallout 3 sold on PC compared with PS3/X360.Posted at 12:50PM on Nov 17th 2008 by Mike
