What have the gaming public been buying this week via digital distribution platform Steam? A whole lot of RPG, it seems. Borderlands is leading the charge this week, but its broken up a little bit by Left 4 Dead 2. Both versions of Dragon Age: Origins (a deluxe and a standard version) also sold well, and the top five was somehow rounded out by ... wait for it - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The mind boggles.

What have the gaming public been buying this week via digital distribution platform Steam? Stuff that you can't get in Australia, apparently. Left 4 Dead 2 remained the top seller, closely followed by Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Risen also remained popular, but it didn't quite rise all the way. The top five was rounded out by Empire Total War stuff, with the Warpath campaign and the game itself performing well.

What have the gaming public been buying this week via digital distribution platform Steam? Stuff that you can't get in Australia, apparently. Left 4 Dead 2 somehow managed to be the top seller, (so much for a boycott?), and it was followed by the first game documenting Valve's Zombie Apocalypse. Aion was popular... again, and the other forbidden title also sold heavily through Steam - the RPG, Risen.

What have the gaming public been buying this week via digital distribution platform Steam? ...

It is Tuesday, and that means it is time for another edition of Now Playing, where we examine several trailers, bemoan their existence, and generally speak in short, hushed tones about the other side of video game marketing.
Today we will take a look at some zombies who happen to not always obey the laws of on-rails shooters, followed by a visit from a guardian. After that, we go undercover, pretending that we know something about a certain recently launched MMO, before finally looking at what exactly it takes to kill a dream.

Each week, we collate the most popular stories that we published over the past seven days, plus a lineup of the most downloaded files added in the same timeframe. That way, in case you missed something, you can catch up in one helpful little spot, every Monday morning.
Last week, people wanted to know about Sony and their remarks regarding the possibility of users accessing Adult content on the PlayStation 3. The Classification Board, and Left 4 Dead 2 were in the news for all the wrong reasons again, with the R18+ debate rearing its head once more. Also popular was our reader interview with Randy Pitchford of Gearbox Software. Other people wanted to know just how cheap games can be, and news of a "locally themed", yet remotely hosted Aion server also turned some heads.

So whaddya think of that new Aion kid? Any good? Pfft, MMORPGS are a dime a dozen these days, and I haven't seen anything to tempt me above and beyond the competition's offerings. Not interested!
Wait - what's that you say? A dedicated local server? Right now? Really? Hmm, maybe we'd better take another look!

What have the gaming public been buying this week via digital distribution platform Steam? ... Lots and lots of MMOs, well, two in particular. Champions Online took out the first spot, and was closely followed by a familiar name Aion. Due to a sale over the weekend, Street Fighter IV also sold a bunch of copies. Left 4 Dead took out 4th spot, which means that the zombie apocalypse won't over-run us (for now), with the top five closed by Counter-Strike: Source.

Gosh, The Secret World. Are we even interested? Sometimes an MMO comes along and even though we're all cynically aware that it's not likely to take the place of one of the big titles (or the big One, if you insist), it still stirs up a lot of interest - take Aion for example. But The Secret World? The most it's seemed capable of provoking so far is a "meh".
Until this weekend. Why has every even vaguely game-related site I've visited over the last 48 hours just blared The Secret World? Is there something we don't know? Did I miss something? Is it a slow news week? Is there some subliminal message in this new trailer? Is somebody receiving a hefty kick back? Where's mine?!

Last week, people who didn't make it to the Brisbane meet up wanted to know everything that happened. While that really wasn't gaming news, (the announcement of the PlayStation 3 slim took that honour), news from BlizzCon also proved to be extremely popular. Other popular news involved a certain upcoming MMO being given "best seller status", and a teaser trailer for another MMO (incidentally, from the same company) capturing the attention of hundreds of gamers.

If you keep an eye on the weekly Steam Top Sellers you'll know that new MMORPG Aion is already one of the best-selling titles around, more than a month before release. I wonder how many copies it will shift when it actually releases? We'll know soon enough; NCSoft are justifiably excited to announce that the game has gone gold, meaning it is on its way to manufacturers to be packed onto discs and sent winging around the world for sale.

What have the gaming public been buying this week via digital distribution platform Steam? ... It seems that last week saw most of them respond to the Call of Duty, with the latest World War II title finding a nice home in first place on the charts. It was followed by Aion, which people are still purchasing in mass through Steam. Other people wanted to pick up Left 4 Dead, in order to kill some zombies.
Hearts of Iron III remained in the charts, allowing people to relive World War II in whatever way they find the most entertaining. The top five was rounded up by Counter Strike: Source, which is still selling like hot cakes.

On the demo front, the Darkest of Days demo made a few people's days darker. Finally, information regarding the limited edition of CITIES XL was also popular, suggesting that we'll see a lot of cities built once the game is finally released.

What have the gaming public been buying this week via digital distribution platform Steam? ... They seemed to be seduced by the notion of a ridiculously titled pack of games entitled the "The absolute, autonomous, freewheeling, grassroots, nonaligned, nonpartisan, sovereign, unconstrained, uncontrolled, unregimented games pack".
The people who like "sensible" game titles also chimed in, contributing by purchasing many copies of Dawn of War II. The third most purchased game was then a MMO that hasn't yet been released, Aion. Perhaps due to news of more DLC arriving in September, Left 4 Dead managed to sell some more copies, and finally, new comer Hearts of Iron 3 gave some people heart palpitations.

NCsoft, the Korean based MMO developer and publisher have announced their financial results for the year to date, which, even amid economic turmoil, has seen profits grow an astounding 315%. The massive increase in cash flow has been credited to the release of Aion - Tower of Eternity, which recently saw release to Korean markets.
The reason for NCsoft's stellar performance is due to an increase in margins, of which Aion - Tower of Eternity contributed some US$107.7 million. 34% of its sales were for Aion - Tower of Eternity, with other major titles such as Lineage series, and City of Heroes also contributing to the success of the company.
