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.

@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 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.
