If zombies could feel emotion they would certainly be feeling joy right now, because Steam is selling zombie games through the roof thanks to a sale on Killing Floor and the popularity of Dead Rising 2 and Left 4 Dead 2. While Steam is selling zombies en mass, Direct2Drive's audience can't get enough of Civilization and Fallout, and Impulse gets a sale on Stardock Entertainment games.

On Steam, there was a sale for everything on Killing Floor, and everything Modern Warfare 2, so the deals for those boosted the sales take half of the Steam list. Civilization V is still on top of course, and Medal of Honor is right around the corner so there's some pre-release buzz there. Left 4 Dead 2 came up higher on the list thanks to the great new free for PC DLC The Sacrifice.
Direct2Drive is selling Medal of Honor on the number 2 spot as well, but Civilization V is still selling the Deluxe version as well on Direct2Drive. The same goes for Fallout: New Vegas, and the now available for pre-order DC Universe Online. The game is still slated for release in Q1 2011, so besides the initial pre-order sales, there won't be major profits until release. The Direct2Drive crowd is growing an affection for The Sims 3 and Darksiders, with The Sims 3 always being on the list and Darksiders being the same since release. Darksiders may not hold, but The Sims 3 will.
Impulse Driven is buying all things made by Stardock Entertainment with six of their games being on the top 10 list, and ALL of those games being in the top 7 of that list. The extra Stardock sale were nudged forward by a deal for Demigod and a discount on Galactic Civilizations II, the normal version. Otherwise, Impulse Driven remains the same with lots of strategy games being sold and every other genre being ignored within a week of release.
