The fine people over at NPD released their top 20 best selling PC games in the US for 2008 (sans online sales, of course).

According to NPD PC game sales in the US were just $701 million in 2008, down 14 percent from 2007. But, as most of you know, the NPD Group's numbers for PC game sales only cover the revenue it monitors from US retail stores. The number doesn't cover the growing amount of revenue generated via games bought via direct download. Nor does that number cover things like microtransactions and subscription sales for MMO game.
