Empire: Total War Tops Lich King, Dawn Of War II

Real-time strategy game Dawn of War II beat out World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King two weeks in a row in US PC sales but now both games have been bested by a new challenger: Creative Assembly's Empire: Total War.

Here are the top ten from March 1-7 according to the NPD Group:

  1. Empire: Total War
  2. World Of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
  3. Warhammer Online: Age Of Reckoning
  4. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe
  5. Dawn Of War II
  6. The Sims Carnival: Bumper Blast
  7. Empire: Total War Collector’s Edition
  8. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Premier Edition
  9. World Of Warcraft: Battle Chest
  10. World Of Warcraft

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning opened up ten-day free trials last week and it seems the move paid off for them. I can't remember the last time they cracked the top ten.
