  • RazorD

    Any chance you could post this for the week you were away, Larry?

    Theres a question about which game would win on hubdub.com thats awaiting the data to be settled!

  • DCOneFourSeven

    The community games have been new since December. Do you not think it’s time to leave the big bold red text out?

  • BrarStar

    3 on 3 nhl at the top!!! nice

  • MadPanzerguy

    Honestly I’m getting a little sick of CoD:WaW staying on the top spot for so long. It is NOWHERE near as fun as CoD4, Halo 3, or Gears 2, imo.

  • bradyr

    I’m glad CoD4 is still in the top 5 as that stupid XP bug wiped out my rank in WaW (of course with no recourse from Treyarch) so piss on WaW, back to CoD4!

  • xX Spine Xx

    I guess I didn’t play Fallout enough.

  • Warrengonline

    MadPanzerguy the street fighters are coming. Let’s see the results after the battle begins. I’m looking for at least a 2 – 0 in SFIV vs COD:WaW. Its all about the fun.

  • CosMick

    I can see GTAIV jumping a few places for next weeks top 10.

    The Lost & Damned is EPIC!

  • Atheist Primate

    Surprised to see that World at War has stayed on top for so long. But in a few weeks from now, hopefully, WaW will descend and COD4 and Halo 3 will take the two top spots, I think.
    I wonder how many Call of Duty’s we’ll see at the top 10 list when COD6 is out. I’m guessing two; COD4 and COD6.

  • Captain Bluey

    Its interesting that R-Type only made it to number 4, even though it was only released last week. I wonder if this is indicative of the fact that it is a bit too pricey?

  • Captain Bluey

    Major, how about adding one more list to your weekly update – the Top 10 downloaded DLC?

  • oO MG81 Oo

    Can you post the activity stats from the other week too. I’ve wanting to see those.

  • Viccaro

    @MadPanzerGuy

    Well, certainly a lot of people find it more fun, including my 6 buddies who play it with me every single night. It’s #1 for a reason; mostly because it’s newer than COD4, but it’s also a hell of a lot of fun. COD4 is great but the old-school weapons (bolts anyone?), maps, tanks, and artillery & dogs are just a friggin’ blast.

  • Joergen8

    Cant see why … .. . … Gears 2 is so high, biggest QA fiasko this century. Epic really have no .. .. …. .. .. .. .. … … . BANG!

    Sorry, got lagswitched there in the mid.. . .. . .. …. . . … . .. BANG!

  • Anonymous

    you misspelled Star Wars: Battlefront 2 :P

  • AnEternalEnigma

    How is Chaos Theory on the original Xbox list twice?

  • DarkArmada

    My weekly write-up for the top 10 is up :)

  • Teh Samuel

    glad to see the support for left4dead

  • davidkenobi

    It’s the first time we see the RE5 demo in the top ten, no ?

  • MrSt33l

    I’m predicting GTA IV should sneak back up to no. 4 (maybe 3 even) next week and Gears 2 will take the no. 5 spot.

  • Doh Ray Egon

    @Viccaro: The tanks and the outdated weapons make WAW worse.

  • Kuji PR

    I’m surprised people play CoD3 when they can easily get a better deal on CoD2 or CoD4 :D

  • FOOLKILLER X2

    Halo still at number 2, huh. And after I played a mujillion games this week, too.

    And some day when they’ve learned Halo 3 will return…..will return.

  • Blue Thunder28

    Cool… Halo and CoD WaW still on top… 3 on 3 NHL Arcade is really fun, too.

  • DMZilla

    Castle Crashers is stil near the top <3

  • Ollyh

    Good to see Castle Crashers still doing good, love it to hell! XD.

  • II QUiCK5HO7 II

    I’m surprised that CoD4 is still up there :/ TLAD will knock it down next week!

  • Rhodes Royce

    There were people who actually bought Minesweeper Flags? Way to go…

  • MACPH1ST0

    There’s a new Maw level called Brute Force (with a new achievement) being released later today for 100 points. Show your support for indie developers by downloading it and get The Maw back to the top of the Arcade list!

  • VILIUS169

    I think COD wAw will be on NO1 for another 3-4 monts or so.Dont forget new maps coming on March as well.After that COD MW2 should take NO1 place. ;)

  • emuholic

    I think COD WAW will keep first place for another week (maybe two weeks) then take a break during Halo Wars and the Halo 3 Mythic Map pack releases.

    At a guess I would say Halo 3 in first place, Halo Wars in second, and COD WAW in third. I think Halo Wars might drop to third in the second or third week (COD WAR to second). Halo 3 to keep first place for around a month due to the map pack.

    After this I think the top three positions will return to how they are now.

  • skyfire420

    curious to see how many spots gta 4 will jump next week due to LATD

  • Thiago123

    Well I was one of the masses that tried all three of those demos. I was very disappointed with Hawx, still on the fence about Halo Wars, but I do know that RE’s style of gameplay is not for me. It does look gorgeous though and Capcom will get some love from me when I pick up SF4 this week. I’ll be interested to see how it does…with that, Halo Wars, GTA 4 expansion…Gears 2 will keep falling. Epic made a ton of $ but they have a long way to go to restore the community’s trust. Also, glad to see L4D hanging tough…can’t wait for the DLC. But for all of these, I’ll be late to the party as I am still making my way through the Wasteland…

  • VisionaryLight

    Thanks for posting the community games my husband was just talking about wanting a RC-plane sim.

  • KEVLAR x

    LOL @ R-Type debuting at no.4…that’ll teach them to be greedy. Now watch it bomb right out of the top ten!!!MS, please learn a lesson, games really have to be something special to sell at 1200 pts or more, 800 is the sweetspot. I predict a similar fate for this weeks deathtank, again at 1200pts.

  • HH Li

    wow 3 demos on the list.

  • Anonymous

    CoD WaW #1 and CoD4 #3 cool

  • Searing Wave

    I personally find very little enjoyment playing Call of Duty: World at War. It’s fun ocassionally with my friends, but I don’t see myself playing it for much longer. I also don’t think it will be able to hold off Halo 3 once the Mythic Map Pack comes out, nor do I think it is nearly strong enough to take the number one spot back anytime after that.

    Call of Duty 4 was definitely a much more enjoyable experience than WaW could ever hope to be, but it has long passed its peak. This is likely the highest spot it will be able to maintain this year, and then it will slowly drop, especially with the eventual release of Modern Warfare 2. I think that will definitely enjoy a nice bit of time at the top, but Halo 3 will always come back.

    Can’t wait for Halo Wars! I’m sure it will have plenty of weeks among the top three.

  • Anonymous

    Predictions for next week,

    1. COD WAW
    2. COD 4
    3. Halo 3

  • skyfire420

    na, i think the fanboys might move on to guyblo wars

  • robincognito

    I don’t understand why people keep bashing COD: Waw. Tbh, I much prefer the online play of WaW to COD 4. They did a really nice job with the weapons – I look forward to unlocking new ones more than I did with COD 4 and the addition of dogs to online play makes it even more exciting. I do believe the campaign is more exciting in COD 4 but COD: WaW definitely deserves the top spot for LIVE activity, just for the inclusion of War mode imo. It’s just more fun. Some people just can’t accept that COD went back to WW2.
