Unreal Tournament 2003 had a great first week but enters the latest NPD PC sales chart in second place behind The Sims: Unleashed, which is currently enjoying its second week at the top. Elsewhere on the chart there's very little in the way of movement other than every game slipping down a place, bumping Grand Theft Auto III off the bottom to make room for Unreal Tournament 2003. Madden NFL 2003 was the only exception to the rule, slipping out of the top 10 this week and, in the process, leaving a slot vacant for Activision's Medieval: Total War to reenter at number eight.

Best-selling PC games for the week of September 29-October 5, 2002:

Rank / Title / Publisher / Average Price
1 / The Sims: Unleashed / Electronic Arts / $29
2 / Unreal Tournament 2003 / Infogrames / $47
