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.

NPD's complete list of the week's best-selling U.S. retail games is as follows:

  1. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe / EA Maxis / $19 (Average)
  2. World Of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King / Blizzard / $39 (Average)

    I wish EA would annouce if Sims 3 is delayed or not. The 20th is coming up quick.

      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
