Quite nice!

Out of curiosity.. do those torture techniques you're teaching Craig get applied to all the various press outlets?

wait isnt this the results of the infamous spam vote poll?

Seeing Sins comes 7th when it got reset 700 proper votes is a big achievement. We could have come 3rd!

NICE good to see sins among the other great games.

i just hope that Empire Total War will have some good damage model, the "life bar" stuff is getting abit "boring"

Wow I never heard of #1 and I have a Steam account. Can you tell I'm not really into FPS titles. Additionally I cant believe anything ranked higher then SC2.

However that is a pretty solid stable of world class horses in all fairness discounting #10. Just to even be considered would be an honor for most titles.

The one game I really, really want that is not on it is DragonAge. I hope AoC will fill the void for me until it is released.

Indeed, it's pretty nice to be rated among titles that people have been looking forward to for *years*. Starcraft 2, Fallout 3, Age of Conan/Warhammer Online, Spore are some very powerhouse names!

ahh spam pole i remember you well.

People spamed the other games to get them reset too so this wasn't a good pole.

Glad to see some sites are recognizing this games actual potential, and not purely going off hype. How many "Top 10 for whatever year" games actually sucked........

Yeah, if you take the release probabilities into account, Sins rates much higher.

This is going to be a monumental year for PC Games! 2007 was a fairly weak year for PC Games, it was more of a console game year. But 2008! OMG! These games are all breathtaking!

Awesome news for Sins and i am pretty sure its not only site that will feature the game in their top 10 most wanted list

And i agree - 2008 looks insane when it comes down to PC games which in fact makes me rather scared since i am moving in with my gf from next month who will probably boot me if i spend much time blasting pixels on a screen

Well I think this is the fourth or even fifth top 10 list for 2008 for Sins since the beginning of the month.

Moreover if my personal crusade to promote Sins is even remotely successful in a couple venues, coupled with activities of others as well as official SD/IC efforts to bring attention to it this game should be the biggest sleeper hit ever to hit the industry.
