I'm sure the massive discounts that was offered had something to do with it's #1 spot. They were all but giving it away on amazon (if only in the US) and $9.99 tends to make anything sell.



OT: Comments are sort of visible to the general public and not just members! Just try this on google: " site:http://www.gamesindustry.biz" and you will see.
