    You complain about D2 selling well? How about the Sims Expansion Packs. grr... Funny thing is I ahven't bought either. I must be one of the fe wpeople who doesn't own the Sims. Heh.

    I'm surprised SOU is selling so well coNSidering it's based on a crappy game. Amazing!

    I don't think he's complaining but surprised. But well, for 20$ a game for the summer if you got nothing else to do it's quite worth it, even if you already got it by fraudulent ways. As for the Sims... well.. it can be quite adictive for a while, then you either manage to grow a nice family or you do like me and kill like 40 sims in a single terrain just to make a nice graveyard :lol:

    Heh. Well, Im sure people wouldn't be buying them if they thought they weren't good games. Still,... these games have been out for awhile now. Time to move on.... Or not.

    Diablo 2 is the only game worth playing on that list. WIth the new patch, we're going to get a boatload of new features. It's going to keep the game alive for another two years, at least.

    edit: well, Warcraft 3 is pretty good also.
