Practical 1

For practical 1 I am supposed to pick a topic that relates to my interest and after which identify one aspect of the topic that I'm interested in.

I have chosen PC Games as my topic and and the world's best selling PC game as my aspect. After doing my online research, I have finally come a conclusion that 'The Sims' is the best selling PC game in the year 2007.

Some links to the four resources regarding the aspect I had indicated are:
