I'm going to look past the top PC games of the past week, and focus on a quiet achiever that's doing well on both the Steam and Direct2Drive listings: Hearts of Iron III.
It's from a long line of dry, dry strategy games, as archaic and "old school" as PC gaming gets, and look at it. It's made it onto the Steam sales charts, and made it onto the Direct2Drive charts twice.
God I love PC gamers.
