Weekly PC Sales: Left 4 Dead Hangs On

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

As with last week and the weeks before, the lack of a major PC release means that NPD’s list of the best-selling PC games at US stores hasn’t changed much. WoW and Spore moved up, Empire and Fallout went down, and Bejeweled replaced Demigod.
Fortunately, digital download provider Direct2Drive saw a bit more variety, thanks a 75% off sale on Mount & Blade and a 50% off promotion on Men of War and Cryostasis.
