PC Sales Charts: Apologies Are In Order
Aion: I’m sorry. I’ve been ignoring you just like I ignore practically every MMO, but despite your silly name and bland art you are proving surprisingly popular. So, from here on in, I’ll try and ignore you… less.
That little spiel was prompted by Aion’s continuing strong performance near the top of both PC digital charts, which is almost as surprising as seeing Champions Online atop the D2D charts, what with everything I read of the game from old CoH fans saying it’s rubbish and all.

Despite my general cringe at anything MMO, Aion is actually quite different to its competitors. The graphics are generally good, gameplay is a lot deeper and includes some music by Inon Zur.
So there is a reason for it being relatively popular.
