With no more weekly PC games sales lists coming from the NPD Group, we have to use the somewhat less accurate lists from the Steam and Direct2Drive downloadable sites (they don't contain all the games available in retail stores and temporary price decreases can boost sales in older games). The latesttop 10 sales list from Direct2Drive for the week ending July 4 shows, however, that Bohemia Interactive's military shooter ArmA II is proving to have a solid release in the US.

The title made the number one spot on the list (the game was number two on Steam's current list). Another interesting trend on the Direct2Drive list is that pre-orders for the September launching MMO game Aion are proving to be high; the NCsoft title is in the number two spot:

1. ArmA 2 - Bohemia Interactive
2. Aion: Tower of Eternity - NCsoft
3. The Sims 3 - Electronic Arts
4. The Sims 3 (Mac) - Electronic Arts
5. Dawn of Discovery - Ubisoft
6. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Activision
7. Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood - Ubisoft
8. Overlord 2 - Triumph Studios/Codemasters
9. Civilization 4: Complete Edition - 2k Games
10. Fallout 3 - Bethesda Softworks
