It's like even before Will Wright's Spore releases, Electronic Arts keeps shoveling more and more moolah into the vault. Someone definitely did something right by getting IKEA involved in the latest expansion to The Sims 2, because the brand-approved luxuries tucked away inside every twenty buck box managed to overtake every PC retail game offered in the US. The full top ten list follows at the full story.

With World of Warcraft as a trophy, it wouldn't have been long before recognitions soon followed Vivendi's online multiplayer division, Blizzard Entertainment. And now that the MMORPG is the hottest game over PC, kudos goes to the man who pioneered it: Blizzard's head honcho, Mike Morhaime. In that respect, the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) hopes to honor this achievement with a special treat.

It's an endless debate when talking about girls playing the same video games guys play. They say girls only like MMORPGs, then follow up with "there are no girls on internet." Others believe female gamers stick to casual games, but Mario and Pokemon titles have more fanboys than fangirls.

No matter what your stand is, here's a list of non-girly games that aren't Barbie, Bratz, or any of those glamorous stuff.

Outgoing Electronic Arts (EA) CEO Larry Probst recently talked about the the turnover in the giant company's administration, the PS3's sales-price tag correlation and the phenomenal success of World of Warcraft in an interview.

Probst says that the turnover's timing couldn't be better as the console generation transition is picking up on steam and the game business community is "through choppy waters." He will be succeeded by fellow EA top cat John Riccitiello.

Asked about what he thought about the PS3's market performance thus far, he said the Sony delivered the numbers that they expected and was not surprised at all that the console which sells for close to $900 when bundled has met some considerable resistance.

However, he expressed faith that in a while, consumers will realize that the value is there since getting the PS3 also means you get a pricey Blu-ray player as a killer extra.

Probst also commended Blizzard for its work on World of Warcraft, calling the entire project "lightning in a bottle" and expressed his regret that EA didn't purchase the MMORPG titan when it was up for grabs in the free market.

Moving over to EA's own backyard, the soon to be ex-CEO praised the creative maestro Will Wright, calling the genius behind Sim City and The Sims the "Steven Spielberg" of EA. He revealed that Wright gets his way most of the time and expressed his confidence in Wright's new project Spore.
