Xbox Live Top 10: Halo 3, Trials HD continue to dominate

by Xav de Matos { Oct 31st 2009 at 11:05PM }

Surprising no one, Major Nelson's weekly list of most-played games on Xbox Live showcases Halo 3 and a double dose of Call of Duty on the top of the charts, with Modern Warfare and World at War grabbing second and third, respectively. XBLA top-seller Trials HD continues to lead the downloadable space, beating out newcomers Tower Bloxx Deluxe and Panzer General: Allied Assault.

The most notable item on the list is Gearbox Software's Borderlands, debuting at (a disappointing) ninth on the list. Perhaps evidence that inventory shortages may in fact muck up the wheels of a critically acclaimed game's launch. Color us surprised ... then trace us with sarcasm.

It's Living Dead this weekend, which is both a good playlist and a way to earn two of the achievements. Add in recent ODST sales and there was no way a Call of Duty title would be on top.

That would have been true if ODST (Fire Fight) had matchmaking.

Living dead is my favourite double exp weekends. I personally hate griffball.

@I DeX I
yes... but your forgetting ODST comes with all the Halo 3 Maps, so more people are playing Halo 3 now because of those maps, weather they held our or not, plus those 3 new ones are helping too

@Katana
Griffball is okay, but after awhile it gets boring, its fun every now and then but not almost every weekend

I need to pick up some points for Trials HD.

I am amazed (I guess not really) that Left 4 Dead is still on this list, what a great game. Glad to see Borderland on there also.

The mini-games is one of the main reason I play Trials HD. They are so damn fun.

I think 9th is impressive for a brand new IP and its fun as hell. My friend has been trying to get his hands on one for the past week but no avail
