[casual_games] Top Download List

[Lennard Feddersen]

As has been previously noted - it would be awesome if one of the larger 
portals were to put some actual download or sales #'s to all of this.  
Heck, anybody on any of those lists could let the rest of us know how 
their title fared on one portal and we could extrapolate from there 
based upon grabbing some likely conversion rate. 

As a developer without a top ten hit, in a non-silicon valley money 
environment, it's hard to show the money guys a complete picture without 
having one.

My 2 cents,
