Games Europe Loves to play: Europe's Top 10 Games

Deathsythe | June 19, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 2 Company Misc

Simply put - Guns, guts, gore, and glory just don't sell as well across the pond as they do here in America. It is a difference in culture, and it is clearly reflected in the European market.

See inside the article for Europe's Top 10 Games.

Across the pond, consumers prefer racing and soccer games to blockbuster action, adventure and first-person shooter games that are the staple of the U.S. diet. Indeed, Europeans view such games as "evil," says Cevat Yerli, chief executive of Crytek, a German game developer that specializes in first-person shooters.
