It's been five months since one of Her Interactive's Nancy Drew games broke into the top ten, but the prodigal daughter has returned thanks to a cheap jewel case edition.
While Direct2Drive's
top ten downloads packs several of that week's new releases, including The Chronicles of Riddick, only Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor managed to appear on both D2D's chart and NPD's list of top-selling games at US retailers.
It was also a week for returning vets, with Left 4 Dead and the StarCraft
Battle Chest both re-appearing on NPD's weekly list, and Universe at War hitting D2D's due to a sale.
