Diablo II on Top for June

By all indications, the summer is heating up for Blizzard - Diablo II claimed PC Data's top rank for the entire month of June despite the fact that the game wasn't released until the end of that month. With announced sales of over 1 million copies, Diablo II is off to a fast start. The collector's edition of the game - which is sold out from most outlets and now fetches high prices on eBay - debuted in sixth place, just behind Vampire: The Masquerade. Other June releases, Shogun: Total War and Icewind Dale, also appear in the month's ranks.
