    Interesting…

  • HazyCloud

    Glad to RB2 break the top ten.

  • ChargingMuffin

    Go FIFA! Halo is so much better than Call of Duty…

  • TBizzle4Shizzle

    Seeing Rock Band 2 and UFC on that list makes me very happy.

  • Keeby Boy

    When’s the last time RB2 was on this list?

  • Warrengonline

    Left 4 Dead… “Brains! Turn that li… W-I-I-I-I-TCH!”

    Happy 18th birth day Sonic and “YEAH Sonic The Hedgehog 3!”

    myFishtank, hmmmm, I must see this. Dev a ‘real’ pet.

  • oO MG81 Oo

    Yay!, the activity chart is back :-) . I’m kinda surprised Red Faction isn’t even on the list!?. Maybe it made it into the top 10 on the weeks the chart wasn’t posted?. The MP in that game is pretty addictive.
    W@W back at number one where it belongs :-P

  • slambert15

    Sweet! Rock Band’s back! Much better than Guitar Hero IMO.

  • HaloHunter072

    Wow, I’m thrilled to see Magic in first place on the arcade. Quite possibly the best $10 I’ve ever spent.

  • AnEternalEnigma

    Jesus. Why do companies feel the need to have their game show up on the Xbox Live listing with dumb formatting? “[PROTOTYPE]“. Just call type out Prototype and quit trying to be avant garde.

    Don’t even get me started on Capcom’s need to have all their games show up IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.

  • XxLightkunxX

    So Guilty Gear X2 #Reload is still being played online I see….excellent. Since I bought the title not long ago I can look forward to playing against others..:D

    Go Sonic 3!

  • clarky456

    Major you should do interviews on next weeks blogcast for the XBLA games that you missed out on when you were away.

  • Monster Warfare

    Where is Ref Faction?

  • AIaskanGrown

    looks like CoD is gonna rain supreme again, well at least till they release new halo material.

    anyone else noticing a pattern here? lol

  • Anonymous

    Yo! everyone needs to get red faction please I’m telling you best game out GET IT!!!!

  • Team Kobun

    Glad to see Rocket Riot cracked into the top ten after last week’s couple of Live SNAFUs. Disappointing that aquariums and massagers dominate the XBLCG category. I think it’s a cycle which feeds itself stemming from those titles getting more press than actual, worthwhile games themselves and constantly appearing front and center on the popular tab as a result from the exposure. The revamped XBLCG rating system can’t come fast enough.

  • Keeby Boy

    Rock Band 2 hasn’t been in the Top Ten since week of September 22nd.

  • Chitwood7412

    Really no Red Faction? Online Gameplay is great, SP sucks but Mp is the best.

  • MostSpartan 14

    Yay!! Rock Band’s back in the top 10!

  • A Place for Us

    I find it super slow with Gears of War 2 matchmaking. Yet it’s so popular. Why can’t the matchmaking be as smooth as Call of Duty?

  • Codename 76

    I would attribute the increase in WaW popularity this week to the DLC2 which sold 1 million copies. People love co-op zombie killing.

  • Exu

    Didn’t expect Rocket Riot to crawl in so low, it’s actually rather charming, if flawed.
    Saying that, Codeglue gave it to me for free and I have to say, I wouldn’t have wanted to have paid for it.
    Later single-player at least is one of the worst cases of artifical difficulty I have ever seen, and in multiplayer you’ll soon find the best tactic is to hog the top of the screen and rapid-fire weak rockets to create a “rain”.

    There are people out there who still haven’t bought Castle Crashers yet!?

  • Atomicow

    @AnEternalEnigma –

    “[PROTOTYPE]” is the official title, not “Prototype”. It shows up like that in the dashboard, on people’s gamecards, and on the box itself. They even put have that “dumb formatting” trademarked.

    They didn’t just randomly choose to have it show up like that on this list.

  • HaloKhan

    Shadowrun didn’t make the top 10?!

  • Searing Wave

    Still don’t enjoy World at War enough to justify putting Microsoft Points down on any new maps for the game, but perhaps if they are ever discounted or put as a deal of the week I’ll consider it.

    I am surprised Red Faction: Guerilla didn’t make it to the top ten, as well as Rock Band 2′s sudden appearance. Still have to find the money to buy the latter…

  • Vagabond80

    yeah Fifa and RB2… my favourite

  • Makavelo

    [PROTOTYPE] made it to the top 10 yay! great game

  • Warrengonline

    Burnout Paradise in top 10 next round! Than Jansen car is off the chain – it hovers! And that other car is slow, but just totally Ghostbusters!

  • Anonymous

    gone back to cod4 myself, waw bores the crap out of me.

  • Its Markie Mark

    Nice to see GTA still in top ten!

  • Warrengonline

    @HaloKhan
    Heh heh… The Shadow’s been runn’in a long time man.

    @AnEternalEnigma
    I guess it is a name design [THING]. I was confused too, I thought my friends wee playing a demo at launch. “[ ]” trademarked? Oh really? I was not interested in it until I was comparing versions and saw the ‘body surfing’. Seems fun.

  • Thiago123

    Man I missed these lists. Highlights:
    - Gears 2 and GTA above L4D still boggles the mind, but then again when it comes to longevity of games and multiplayer I am way partial to FPS not third person games. Which might explain why I haven’t picked up Red Faction even though I had a blast with the demos.
    - I’d love to see how SF4, Madden, Red Faction, etc are doing…can’t we get a top 25?
    - Hope to see Fallout 3 back up there after Point Lookout. Will be downloading it for this weekend.
    - How is 1 vs 100 doing? It is really fun! And free!
    - Lastly, as a long time former MTG player, the arcade game is fun, just a bit too much over simplified. No real upkeep work, no way to respond to stacked combat damage, no way to really edit the decks (keep it at 60 and use unlocked cards). Still a fun way to get a fix.

  • Alex Atkin UK

    You know what would be even better? If each item on the list linked to its marketplace page.

    In other news “yay” finally I can login to the blog. I have been unable to login for a few weeks, it just kept taking me to the gamertag changing page even when I deleted cookies and tried a different browser.

  • n3rfherd3r

    WaW is good fun, but not Halo fun

  • T Piper Calling

    We need a good multi-player game based in the Star Wars universe!!! Can’t wait for Modern Warfare 2; it will blow ODST out of the water.

  • xDkZx SPAWN

    ooooooo viva gears of war 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    viva mexicooo!!!!
