It's not exactly a shock to learn that the latest weekly release of Steam's top 10 best selling PC games list has Left 4 Dead 2's pre-order offer at the top. The sequel to Valve's zombie co-op shooter finally was made available for pre-orders just two days ago. It also shows that once again so-called petitions to boycott games have little to no real world effect.

The three day 50 percent off sale for the original Left 4 Dead pushed that game to the number two spot. Aion, NCsoft's MMO, dropped down to the third spot for its Collector's Edition after several weeks at the number one position.

1. Left 4 Dead 2 - Valve
2. Left 4 Dead -Valve
3. Aion Collector's Edition - NCsoft
4. Risen - Piranha Bytes/Deep Silver
5. Aion Standard Edition - NCsoft
6. Batman: Arkham Asylum - Rocksteady/Eidos
7. Counter-Strike: Source - Valve
8. Borderlands - Gearbox Software/2K Games
9. Resident Evil 5 - Capcom
