While Spore has held a sales stranglehold on the whole PC game industry since it launched, this week marks the day when Far Cry 2 takes its place on top. It’s especially impressive given the onslaught of great games starting to roll out. Soon we’ll be seeing Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, and Red Alert 3 showing up on the charts. In the meantime, it’s nice to see the sequel to Far Cry living up to its pedigree.

Of course when Wrath of the Lich King comes out, we know who will be on top then.

1. Far Cry 2 – Ubisoft
2. Spore – Electronic Arts
3. Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy – Her Interactive
4. World of Warcraft: Battle Chest – Blizzard
5. The Sims 2 Apartment Live – Electronic Arts
6. Dead Space – Electronic Arts
7. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe – Electronic Arts
8. Warhammer Online – Mythic/EA
9. World of Warcraft – Blizzard
10. Civilization IV: Colonizaton – Firaxis/2K Games
