Live top ten: Revenge of the Demos

by David Dreger on Feb 19th 2007 11:30AM

For two weeks in a row now, we've had demos creeping into the Xbox Live activity charts. This week is no different, bringing a forth into the fold, ironically taking the forth spot. Of course, we're talking about the Def Jam: Icon demo. Gears of War and Rainbow Six: Vegas continue to dominate and hold onto their stranglehold for the top spots. COD3 moved into bronze position, pushing Crackdown to fifth behind the aforementioned new demo. Madden, Lost Planet, NBA Street and Oblivion stay put, and GRAW 2's demo replaces its predecessor in tenth place. Take a gander at our handy dandy list after the break.

Xbox 360 Titles for the week of 2/12
1. Gears of War (#1)
2. Rainbow Six: Vegas (#2)
3. Call Of Duty 3 (#5)
4. Def Jam: Icon demo (--)
5. Crackdown demo (#3)
6. Madden NFL 07 (#6)
7. Lost Planet (#7)
8. NBA Street: Homecourt demo (#8)
9. Oblivion (#9)
10. GRAW 2 demo (#4)

As always, each entry is followed by its position on the previous breakdown.. If this trend in "demonation" continues, we should see "A New Demo", "The Demos Strike Back" and "Return of the Demo". Unfortunately, we didn't have the foresight to use "The Phantom Demo" a couple weeks back when Crackdown took the #2 spot.

this is what happens when you have an amazing service like xbox live on which to distribute demos. :D

i expect crackdown to be in the top 3 next week, if not in the top spot. :D

MS really should use some other way to work out the most played games, maybe by hours played or by the number of sessions.

Excuse me for not understanding, but where is this GoW demo? I don't see it under the Xbox Live Demo section, or the Call of Duty 3 at that. I do see the others though. Thanks.
