1 Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided - LucasArts $50

Three times The Sims and two times Finding Nemo...
If someone from Maxis or EA is reading this, here's a suggestion for the next Sims expansion pack: Finding The Sims

I will never understand how the hell The sims is on there so many times! It is old and the expansions cannot bring that much more to the game! I have a very hard time beiliving that the gamers of the world buy this crap! Are they just rating this by ppl who buy games at Walmart or what!

Hehe, it's the same in Sweden. Almost every family with a PC in their home owns a copy of The Sims. I used to work in a music/video game-store and I just couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. Every single time they released an expansion, people came and gave me some of their hard-earned cash just to get some EXTRA FURNISHING. It made me sick I tell you.

Oh darn it, I just can't stop ranting today. ;)

It's EA at work again. (I defiantly hate EA with a passion) money grabbing, cheesy-assed, monkey spanking, sons of a rare breed of rinocerous assholes. They have a stupid one I just saw on the main site something with magic, said it was like the 7th expansion, geez, I've tried it at my friends and I can't stand the game at all.

Good to see SWG is selling good, I still don't know if I'll buy it, the subscription fees urk me, a free trial to dl would be nice, but would be huge.

I can't belive D2 is still up there, man that game's been going for a long time, I was addicted, wasted a year on it, then I lost my account online (stupid me forgot the pw...) It's a really good game though, and it's sold millions.

I don't hate EA. I would do the same thing they're doing if I noticed that people turn into to mindless zombies every time they hear (insert name of the game I've published here) and run out to get a copy.
But of course, I would make sure that the expansions are WORTH every single penny. ;)

I swear EA, the Devil, and Walmart made a deal! This is the only reason I can think of for Sims being so popular!

That's exactly why I hate them. They've done the same for MoH and BF42, cheap expansions, a few weapons, a few maps, a couple skins, voila! $30. I bet the Generals expansion will be very miniscule. They should follow Blizzard if they want good expansions.

No we didn't! Honestly!

Redeemers opinion about expansions:
Hate 'em. The guy/gal who came up with the idea for expansions should be shot.

Okay, I'm a bit drunk and I just ate spam. :alcoholic:

Oh you know this is a womans damn fault!
