Top 10 Xbox LIVE games: Week of January 5th
Xbox 360 Top Live Titles (based on UU’s). It would appear the bastard red-headed stepchild of the Call of Duty franchise (you know, the one not developed by Infinity Ward), World at War, had the audacity to take the number one spot this week pushing Halo 3 into second. Coming in at a strong third is Gears of War 2 which must be taking advantage of the auto-updates fixing some of the multiplayer connectivity issues.
1 CoD: World at War
2 Halo 3
3 Gears of War 2
4 Call of Duty 4
5 Left 4 Dead
6 GTA IV
7 Guitar Hero World Tour
8 FIFA 09
9 Lord of the Rings: Conquest Multiplayer Demo
10 Fallout 3
Top Arcade Titles (Full Versions purchased). Castle Crashers tops the list yet again, which bodes well for its first downloadable content released just today. Not surprisingly, the universally well reviewed Super Street Fighter remake sits at number two. Worms, amazingly, sneaks in at the number three position proving that this downloadable model offers legs to titles released even months and months ago. Finally, our favorite game eva, Braid, sneaks back in at number 10, no doubt buoyed by many positive year-end reviews at many gaming sites.
