The retail PC charts haven't budged much this week as usual, but the reason we're checking in is for one major surprise: the Fallout trilogy, a recently repressed package featuring Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics, Vista and XP compatible and with bonuses for $20, has come in at #7, outdoing Demigod, The Sims 2 Apartment Life, and Spore. Even considering how sweet this deal is, it's quite a feat.
On the digital distribution end, Direct2Drive is all shook up, with the Neverwinter Nights 2 expansion Mysteries of Westgate claiming the throne, followed by a host of Ubisoft titles thanks to a sale, and various others, including what seems to be the very promising looking Cryostasis.
Note for those that prefer the digital distribution route and are keen on Fallout, Ubisoft titles, and just PC gems in general, we recommend (on personal accord, mind you) Good Old Games, which always offers great deals, and future compatibility.
With that, here's the numbers:
