PC-only title knocks Rockstar epic off its perch in Germany and Sweden
PC-only release Age Of Conan has taken the top spot in the official German and Swedish charts – finally relegating Rockstar’s GTA IV from its No.1 position.
The title’s Collector’s Edition also charted at No.6 in Germany – once again demonstrating the territory’s idiosyncratic love for PC gaming – whilst the main game charted in fourth in Spain.
However, according to Next-Gen.biz,GTA IV still charted strongly, with the PS3 and 360 version of the game achieving top six finishes across the three charts.

GTA IV "Boring"
I know I am proberly in a minority but I find GTA IV boring, San andreas is a better game on the PS2.
I have also played GTA IV online & still not impressed. I am more impressed with GRiD, totally different games I know but Grand theft for me didnt live up to the Hype, Sorry if I offend anyone but most gamers keeps saying how great the game is & it sure as hell aint great, in my opinion.
I also think that after a month at the top it would only be a matter of time before it got knocked off.
Re: GTA IV "Boring"
I enjoyed the speed and handling of vehicles in previous GTA's and spent a large amount of time simply driving around the city's having a laugh. Because the vehicles in GTA IV handle "realistically", I find myself less drawn to the game I guess. I'm enjoying the missions though.
Re: GTA IV "Boring"
i agree with both your comments, but I'd rather play GTA than this tat!
