The World War II shooter Call of Duty maintained its lead on the top of NPDTechWorld's weekly list of the best-selling computer games in North America, making this the third straight month it has held the spot. However, the run may end with the release of Battlefield: Vietnam and Unreal Tournament 2004 in the weeks ahead.
