January's Top 20 PC Games Revealed by NPD

Compiling all the data from its weekly sales offerings, marketing research group NPD has issued a list of the best-selling games at U.S. retailers across January 2009.

The actual contents of the list haven't changed all that much compared to December, as most of the games just shuffled positions, though the StarCraft Battle Chest, Civ IV and two slot machine games replaced GTAIV, two Sims 2 expansions and Nancy Drew.

It's not just console NDP figures we're getting today. There are PC charts, too, (though again sans hard numbers) showing which games sold the most at retail for the month of January.

Will the results shock you? Of course they won't. Of the 20 titles, eight/nine were published by EA and five by Blizzard, leaving scant room for anyone who was not EA or Blizzard (though Left 4 Dead continues to pleasantly surprise us with its stamina).

1. World Of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King / Blizzard / $38 (Average)
2. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe / EA Maxis / $19 (Average)
3. World Of Warcraft: Battle Chest / Blizzard / $36 (Average)
4. Spore / EA Maxis / $48 (Average)
5. World Of Warcraft / Blizzard / $20 (Average)
6. Left 4 Dead / Valve / $46 (Average)
7. The Sims 2 Apartment Life Exp. Pack / EA Maxis / $20 (Average)
8. Fallout 3 / Bethesda / $48 (Average)
9. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 / EA LA / $32 (Average)
10. Call Of Duty: World At War / Treyarch / $49 (Average)
11. World Of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Expansion Pack / Blizzard / $29 (Average)
12. Civilization IV / Firaxis / $25 (Average)
13. The Sims 2 Mansion & Garden Stuff Exp. / EA Maxis / $20 (Average)
14. Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack / EA Maxis / $20 (Average)
15. IGT Slots: Little Green Men / Masque / $20 (Average)
16. The Sims 2 Pets Exp. / EA Maxis / $18 (Average)
