8. The Simpsons Game, (No. 7) Electronic Arts
Again, it's obvious why The Simpsons Game sold well. It just wasn't good enough to warrant placing seventh in the top selling games of 2007. Presentation wise it was brilliant, with EA managing to recreate the cartoon world brilliantly. The storyline was also pretty good, making fun of video games and using many of the characters from the show. All well and good then, but what about the gameplay? One thing managed to almost single-handedly ruin our The Simpsons Game experience: the camera. At times it made the game completely unplayable and in split-screen co-op these problems were even worse.
7. WWE Smackdown Vs RAW 2008, (No. 10) THQ
In the past it's been relatively easy to forgive WWE games. Most kids (especially boys) grew up at least being aware of wrestling and wrestling with siblings was also good for a laugh (we don't condone performing suplexes on relatives). Playing the games then, running around a ring as the biggest wrestlers of the time was great, but we've been doing that for what seems like ages. The WWE games from THQ and Yuke's seemingly haven't moved on since the PlayStation days. Until the game engine is completely overhauled the game has no place in the top selling games of the year.

You criticize a game that you haven't even played... so why did you buy it? There is no shame in a fun (albeit very simple) game that is priced to move selling well - and there is no shame in admitting that Wii Play is better than many similarly priced downloadable games available on any current-gen console. Not every mini-game on the disc is great, but several are worthy of significant replay. A $10 investment hardly seems unreasonable, and making decent games an impulse purchase instead of a major decision is a brilliant business strategy.
Did some people buy Wii Play just because it was a Wii remote pack-in? Sure. But if the actual game wasn't worth playing then most people would've ended up buying remotes without the game included... you do realize that they sell remotes *without* the game included, right?
Oh, it's also worth noting that PES 2008 on Wii is actually a great game. Not as pretty or traditional as the PS3/360 versions, but very innovative and playable. Of course, not many "gamers" have probably bothered to try.
;)
That said, I think you need to add Carnival Games to the list. A poorman's imitation of Wii Play that sells for full retail and doesn't include any pack-in? And apparently it's sold over a milliion copies so far...

Transformers sold so well because little kids begged their parents for the game. The movie was a giant success and with the amount of kids that saw it, it makes sense that they would want to play the game.
Your other choices...Well, you wasted $10 on a remote, so I don't really feel a need to challenge you.
