Top Xbox 360 Games Played (Weekly)

[VA1N]

In another post I posted the top Wii games to date that people are playing. While there isn't something like this for the 360 that I know of, there is the official Major Nelson report that is produced almost weekly by the man himself.

This thread, if interest is shown, will show the top games played by week as the news is released. So, starting it off, we have the top games played on the 360 from majornelson.com.

Thanks, u da man

I'm surprised GTA IV is on there honestly. But now that I think about it, I guess the new DLC is keeping people playing still.

If we look at this list next week, I bet Arkham Asylum will be very close to the top. I see a lot of people playing that, and I've heard all good things about it.

Interesting to see how many people actually play the Demos

Honestly, I rarely ever play demos. I feel that it takes away from the surprise you get on the first day of playing a game. The only demos I play are the games I'm really on the fence about or decided not to buy. For instance, Batman, I refused to play the demo because I wanted that "new car" feeling when I played it for the first time. Tiger Woods 10 though, I did download the demo to check out the gameplay. I liked the demo so much, that it pushed me over the edge and warranted a buy.

Monthly round up...

And for comparing reasons only, here is playstations below...

Hm... I thought there would be Saints Row. Even though it's debateable towards GTA. I've played both online but I played GTA on psn and there was sooooo few people. I don't know about live.

I expected Rock Band 2 to be in there. Maybe it's in the top 20?

[nickbev51]

most played in general, rock band 2 would definitely be up there, but not nearly as many people play it on live

[JPetrillo]

Crazy how consistent WaW, Halo 3 and COD4 are always top 3. MW2 soon to pass all 3 of those...
