The Sims and Star Trek Online battle over the top spots in the best selling PC games of February 2010.

"... for snuggling purposes."?..
I honestly would have thought Bad Company 2 would be on that list.
Yet World of Warcraft is still on that list and it's almost 6 years old O.o
WoW is on there 3 times... thats pretty amazing
As too did I, then I remembered it was released in March.
In regards to BC2 ^^
Well that's a pretty depressing lineup.
Assassin's Creed 2,silent hunter 5 and Badcompany 2 arent there cause there were released on March! u dumb(a**es)
