Let's take a one-week break from the WoW/Sims duopoly and congratulate Relic's Dawn of War II, which has, for the first time in this writer's memory, managed to come tops across all three charts.
That's right. Dawn of War II stands astride the NPD, Steam and Direct2Drive best-seller lists like a colossus, leaving even Sega's Empire: Total War pre-sales in its dust. A big achievement, sure, but one the game most definitely deserves.
