Call of Duty World at War, Warhammer Online, World of Warcraft and StarCraft 2 were among the most popular games at the Euro-focused Leipzig Games Convention last week, analyst Colin Sebastian said in a Monday investor note.

While he admitted that his observations are "unscientific," he said the long lines for a select number of titles indicated significant consumer interest amongst attendees:

  • World of Warcraft and StarCraft 2--Activision Blizzard
  • Fallout --Bethesda
  • FIFA 09--EA
  • Need for Speed Undercover--EA
  • Warhammer Online--EA
  • Gran Turismo--Sony
  • SingStar-Sony
  • Midnight Club: Los Angeles--Take-Two
  • Far Cry 2--Ubisoft

Sebastian added, "Our observations at the show suggest that PC games, including MMOs, remain very popular among European consumers."
