Halo 3 looks very solid. Although, a large majority of my friends list have moved back to Gears... Heretics...

PGR 2 is still in the top ten, that game will never cease to amaze me

Orange Box - A few of us may have figured they put as much thought into the game, as they put into the title. True or not, a boring title implies a boring game. PGR4 - I might buy eventually..but talk about "been there, done that". Forza 2 - Still no new track (out Friday?) and now off the top 10. Anyone surprised?

aw the reason is cos I'm in the UK, we don't have THPG out here yet, and the demo isn't in the UK version of OxM either...

PGR4 came out a week or so after Halo 3.... I think it was way too soon. It'll be lost under the shuffle because of it.

@narcogen

Now that you mention it, I do remember GOW beating out Halo 2 last year. My mistake then *slaps head*

They need to get TF2 patched, sharp.

But its a fantastic package. Portal is just something else, it really is an amazing game. A real evolution from Narbacular Drop.

I think Orange Box playtime will increase now its out in Europe.

I think Orange Box will move up next week! Rumors are that the TF2 patch will release on Monday! Anyways, as for the people that are complaining about PGR 4 not selling, I can offer my personal opinion for not purchasing it, maybe it applies for others. I was really let down by PGR3, and their lack of support for it after release. Gamers getreally discouraged when compaines release a mediocre game, forget about it, and move onto the next one. Thats what the folks at Bizarre creations did with PGR3, and that might translate to poor PGR4 sales. Or I could be completely wrong... who knows.

donkamero, you are behind the times. The GH3 demo is available with Tony Hawk: Proving Grounds, it has been leaked for download and burning on the net, and it's in the Dec OXM. It's everywhere.

Has anyone else seen this? My wee brother just called me through to his room to how me someone on his friends list was playing Guitar Hero III Demo... Curious as to how it would say that when it would appear there is no demo out?!

What do you's think? Developer or hacked 'now playing'? Or is there a demo heading our way. It also said he was playing online on expert at 'Rock you like a hurricane'

FYI y'all. It may not seem as up to date as Major's posts, but there are top ten lists on Xbox.conm, including one on the US website. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/livearcadexbox360/?WT.svl=nav Actually, I check the Games site for the UK often as it often shows the sheer diveristy the UK community shows when playing Xbox games. (See Top Xbox Games near the bottom right) http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/games/

Halo 3 rules, GOW rules.

Orange Box would be higher if it had more maps/options, but can not compete with the two previously mentioned.

@Hulot:

Yes, Major doesn't compile a combined list to compare the top UU title with the top Xbox 1 title. I think if it was necessary, he would.

When Gears was released it was necessary to compare those two lists, but Gears held on to the top spot from shortly after release until Halo 3 is out.

With Gears in the #2 spot after Halo 3, I don't think there is any reason to believe that Halo 2 has somehow increased its players enough to beat both Gears AND Halo 3, when since late last year it hasn't been able to beat Gears.

However, if you're curious, go to Bungie.net; they have display numbers there for current players online in Halo 2 and Halo 3; Halo 3 is beating H2 by a considerable margin. There are times when there are 100K simultaneous players on Halo 3, and I've seen as little as 2,000 simultaneous players on Halo 2.
