These lists are based on global unique users connected to Xbox Live or in the case of Arcade and Indie Games, full versions purchased during the week. Some content (and therefore the links) may not be available in all regions.
Kudos for expanding the lists, I saw that was oft-requested.
A bit on the fence about the suggested add-ons chart personally. It'd work if all the music game stuff was lumped together but then you might just see them on the top all the time.

I wonder how high Darwinia+ would have come had the price been right...
Bad Company 2 is amazing! Much better than MW2 by far. (Oh yes, BC2 Demo > MW2 multiplayer)
Way to go BioShock 2... not even in the top ten.
Top 20 list, nice!.
@Jayrossss. I certainly wouldn't say BF: BC 2 is a better multiplayer experience than MW2; it's just different. Personally, I find MW2 more exciting and rewarding when playing online.
BC2 has become a MW clone which is sad since BF is a unique series. So if I want a BF game I'll go to BF2.
bioshock 2 is low because of the lag. when it fix maybe it will go up
Hmm, seeing Trials HD on both lists gives a good perspective. Me, I gotta finish up Quake 2 so I can send it back. 0 pointers are still achievements.
It's interesting how AvP is so high considering how long it takes to find matches. o_O
WooT! Aliens vs Predator =D
Brilliant Game - haven't played+enjoyed a demo that much since Dead Rising =D
Good list, I like it. Glad to see Forza 3 and also Halo 3 at #2.
Gah! Original Xbox is getting discontinued and it's still listed while Games for Windows Live isn't!
I kind of wish the list wasn't 20 now. Cuz I don't want to see Gears 2 on there ever again!
Bioshock 2 doesn't surprise me. At most I have 2 friends on it at any given time (out of nearly 100). I am enjoying the game, but only as a stop-gap until Battlefield drops in a couple weeks.
Bioshock 2 is more like Bioshock 1.5 at best. Sure it has a laggy multiplayer, but so does N+.
Wooah! AvP made number 3?? Very surprising indeed... I tried the demo, and didn't particularly like it. But that's just my opinion, I don't speak for the entire community :P
Nice list!, i want buy Trials HD.
No Original Xbox top 20 list?
Please.. it will only be around for another few months on LIVE.
I bet the users have gone up playing Original Xbox games! I sure have been playing on my Original Xbox more :)
Might as well get rid of the Original Xbox List. It is the same every time anyway.
Could we please get a "Games for Windows Live" list?
Bioshock 2 will get higher up sooner or later, and as for most of the other games, i havent bothered to play the demo's for.
Nice to see the AvP demo, 1 vs 100 and Chime all up there. And thanks for expanding the lists, Major! I take it you're doing it this way from now on? Now if you could just start up the Add-ons Purchased list to replace the Original Xbox list once XBL for it is discontinued... ;) Exu, I don't think there will be quite as much music in that list as you think. And besides, it'd be interesting to see which of the music DLC is most popular anyway.
im shocked that fifa 10 is so high on the list.do many americans play fifa?
Where's my top 30 list? :P
Glad to see Bioshock 2 in the list. Been addicted to the multiplayer lately.
BFBC2 is going to be amazing. The demo is addicting.
again...you could list every game ever made but until the actual UUs is listed we dont really know the importance of these games, if theres MILLIONS of UUs difference between games or only a couple hundred, i would rather know that then just seeing their rank.
