I've been so busy running giveaways and testing Free Realms that I have hardly played anything else. I'll wait until official launch to make a final decision, but I am unsure I would ever move Free Realms off of Ralsu's Watch List into the Top Ten because of the restricted content. I am having a blast with the game and likely will even subscribe at launch. I'll recommend people try the free version to decide whether or not to buy it. Anyway, we'll see.

You'll see no changes to the lists from me this week. I promise to get more done next week. In the meantime, what are you playing? Let us know in the forums!
