Following the previous week's PC game sales numbers, for March 15 onward there are a few surprises in store, not the least of which is Tale of Tales short horror game The Path entering Direct2Drive's top 10 (we have a review up here if you're keen). Besides that, a half-price sale sees Defense Grid: The Awakening claiming the number one spot there, with HAWX and Men of War making formidable entrances.
Retail sales, meanwhile, hardly change at all: Civilization IV took the #9 spot, Mystery Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst dropped one to #10, and Red Alert 3 has vanished from previously holding the same position.
