I won't defend Lost Planet 2 since we all know its reception ON THE CONCOLES wasn't that great. Personally, I had a good time playing it on the PC but that's beside the point.
Just because a game isn't well received doesn't mean that driver development should stop. Justifying poor performance by stating a game isn't popular is no way to go about looking at this industry.
If I tested 3/4 of those games, our reviews would be absolutely pointless since not one of them really puts massive strain on the GPU. Many thing Civ 5 does and I beg to differ.
BC2 is used. As was SC2 but that was removed due to the CPU playing a massive roll in the overall results.
I have played Civ 5 religiously since it was released and I can tell you that the CPU is what bottlenecks performance. Granted, there are sites using it for benchmarking purposes that somehow get low framerates on even high-end GPUs. Since they flat out refuse to publish their in-game methodology we have no idea where those numbers come from and I sure as heck can't repeat their results even after months of playing.
I don't choose games based upon popularity but rather on a combination of feature sets, benchmark run repeatability and overall GPU demands.
Paying lip service to a press release shouldn't be taken as fact.
