After claiming and quickly losing the title of best-selling PC game at United States retailers, The Sims 2 Double Deluxe was back on top between January 17 and 24.

Accompanying The Sims 2 in its rise to the top was the Apartment Life Expansion Pack, which reclaimed the #4 spot it held when the month first kicked off . The week also ended World of Goo's one-week stint, replaced by surprise returnee Civilization IV.

      it would be amazing if they actually stayed true to this release date since they have had it for quite a while now! very unlike EA to not set a games release date back
