Now that the new year is in full swing, Microsoft has decided to take a look back at the top games of 2009. Specifically, Major Nelson has released a
breakdown of the most popular games on Xbox Live during 2009. The overall top twenty list seems pretty standard with
Halo 3 at the top, followed by
Call of Duty 4. What's amazing, though, is that after releasing in November,
Modern Warfare 2 managed to snag third place for the
entire year. So, pretty popular game, then.
On the downloadable front,
Battlefield 1943 takes top XBLA honors, followed by
Castle Crashers and
Trials HD. Indie Games are topped by
I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1N IT!!!1 (it
is just a dollar), followed by
Avatar Drop and
RC-AirSim. Unsurprisingly, the top original Xbox game is still
Halo 2, while
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 and the original
Fable take second and third place, respectively. Head over to Major Nelson for the full list.
