The weekly PC sales numbers compiled by NPD are in. The surge in interest in games with war themes continues with the debut of Delta Force: Black Hawk Down in the number-one position for the week. Apart from the sudden disappearance from the charts of last week's number-two game, Freelancer, the relative rankings look quite familiar, with EA's Command & Conquer: Generals, Battlefield 1942, SimCity 4, and The Sims continuing to dominate. The only other new face this week is Ubi Soft's online RPG Shadowbane.
