PC gaming hasn't been going through the best times in recent years, and, at least according to some analysts, it will be dying out in a matter of months or possibly years, succumbing to the popularity of consoles, which are more user friendly to gamers and, in some cases, piracy free.

But the platform is still very stubborn and keeps on going, with the help of organizations such as the PC Gaming Alliance and with companies that are still devoted to their early roots on the old platform, like Blizzard, Electronic Arts or Bethesda.

Besides the weekly PC sales charts we present to you, based on both retails and digital sales, the NPD ground has now decided to unveil the overall best-selling titles for the PC in the month of March. Aside from the regular titles such as Blizzard's Word of Warcraft and its subsequent expansions or EA's monopoly on casual gaming with Sims and Spore, other games are also present, most notable being Creative Assembly's Empire: Total War, which comes in at number one.

Further down the chart, Relic's Dawn of War II is still showing good sales, as it was only overtaken by WoW's Wrath of the Lich King expansion and the special Sims 2 Double Deluxe edition. At number 10 we see that detective titles are quite popular, as Mystery Case Files: Return To Ravenhearst is located at that position, managing to overtake games such as Red Alert 3, Fallout 3 or Call of Duty World at War.

Here are the top 20 best-selling PC games of March, as charted by the NPD group:

1. Empire: Total War
2. Wrath of the Lich King
3. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe
4. Dawn Of War II
5. WoW: Battle Chest
6. World Of Warcraft
7. The Sims 2 Apartment Life
