Electronic Arts' The Sims: Unleashed expansion pack has reclaimed the top spot on the NPD PC sales chart from Sony Online's EverQuest: The Planes of Power expansion pack, which is currently residing at number two. The big movers in the top 10 this week are Infogrames' Backyard Hockey, which has jumped four places up to number six, and Unreal Tournament 2003, which is clinging on to the 10th position after slipping down from number five last week.
