Byte vs Brick: Week Ending Oct 15

Lists! Two of 'em, in fact. But what do these lists do? They compare the top-ten selling PC games of last week on Steam with the top-ten selling PC games of last week at UK retail. What could we learn from them? Nothing, probably. Apart from which game companies became slightly richer over the last few days. Well done, those companies.

2. THQ Hit Collection
3. Might & Magic Heroes VI
4. Metro 2033
