What have the gaming public been buying this week via digital distribution platform Steam? It's not really a surprise, given that it's the only way many people have been able to get their mitts on the game, but number one with a bullet this week comes all the way from Chernarus. The RTS genre got a re-visit this week, but the mighty FPS reigns supreme. Ah, some things never change.

Without further ado, here are the Steam Top Sellers for the week ending June 28th.

Go ARMA

Good list. Interesting to see Anno 1404 on it. I remember playing the older version of the game ages ago, it was pretty fun.

CS:S is selling more than TF2.

It has a bad habbit of doing that. I am amazed at the popularity of CSS (and even CS) especially considering how long it has been out (2004 for CSS). But time and time again it out performs so many newer games in sales.

Could it be the amount of hacks/repurchases:D

its an alright game, very similar to Blue Bytes Settlers series (as its made by them). The game however feels a bit clunky in the quest department, sometimes you never know what to do to facilitate a particular quest and the advisers tend to peeve you off by repeating things over and over again.

Its an interesting game and everything but some of the quests are just boring and pointless fetch quests-- though I've only played the first few levels lol I'm sure it'll end up more interesting at the end- it would have been a far more interesting game to me if it were more like Caesar or Pharaoh where by the objectives are monumental and next to impossible to finish in one sitting- but then I haven't seen a game like that in some time. For a city builder its a bit too quick to complete objectives.

Also WOOO! go Arma2.

That's like saying "Half-Life sucks cause it's just a crowbar and a pistol with zombies and underground labs-- though I've only played the first few levels lol"

its called a first impression.. Christ. at least I'm honest about it.

Resonance cascade not good enough for you?

heh as if anyone thought that part was bad. Its possibly the most iconic part of the game. Besides Jambo's statement is an obvious "its like this but not" fallacy and I did say the game was good it just had some annoyances at the start- its not like I outright said "this game sucks" without playing it.

I think it starts off like that to teach you how to play the game. From what I saw of my Mum playing Anno 1503, one of the earlier titles, the Campaign mode is something they've added with the last two Iterations (1701 and 1404). However, what I played of the demo looked like it'd improved over some of the things which annoyed me a little in 1701 are improved, so I'll have to give this new one a proper look when I can.

Except it's not.

The Settlers series was by Blue Byte Software (as you say); the Anno series was by Sunflowers Interactive. The only point of similarity is that they are both German software developers that make city/economy builders. They are both owned by Ubisoft, admittedly.
