Infogrames' RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 enjoyed a superb first week on sale, knocking Electronic Arts' The Sims: Unleashed expansion pack off the top of the NPD PC sales chart. This week's only other new entry is a collection of five racing games from Globalstar that, in claiming the number-10 spot, forced NOLF2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way and The Sims: Hot Date out of the top 10. There was little change elsewhere in the chart this week, although Unreal Tournament 2003 slipped two places down to number four, while Hitman 2: Silent Assassin fell all the way from number five to number nine.
