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

Xav de Matos — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:05:00 EST

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.

Richard Mitchell — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:20:00 EST

Up for offer on Xbox Live Arcade today are two diametrically opposite titles. Tower Bloxx Deluxe is a puzzle game that requires a grand total of one button to play, while Panzer General: Allied Assault is a strategy / card / board game with more rules than you can shake several sticks at. Depending on your mood, present company or your feelings toward the construction industry, either game might appeal to you. As such, they are both priced equally at 800 ($10). Watch the latest episode of XBLA in Brief to find out if either one is for you.

This Wednesday: Panzer General assaults Tower Bloxx Deluxe on XBLA

David Hinkle — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:19:00 EST

This week's Xbox Live update wages war on one of humanity's oldest foes: the block. We're sorry it's come to this, but we're afraid we can stomach their shenanigans no longer and, come this Wednesday, we're enlisting the aid of Panzer General: Allied Assault for 800 ($10) as we begin operations.

Our first target will be Tower Bloxx Deluxe, with an estimated damage total of 800 ($10). It's a good introductory target that should benefit us in the longer conflict to come against the blocks. And if you're having second thoughts about all of this, remember how they're always making us push them here and pull them there -- and have you forgotten all of the climbing? We're standing up for the little guys and those archaeologists who've had enough tyranny from those six-sided symmetrical impeders, so if you can't get behind that, we suggest you pull up those hemp pants of yours and barefoot it back to the treetop commune or wherever else you hippies call home nowadays.

Richard Mitchell — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:45:00 EST

Digital Chocolate has announced that it's bringing its iPhone and PC game, Tower Bloxx Deluxe, to Xbox Live Arcade. The game tasks players with building incredibly tall (and architecturally unsound) towers. The game will include new features not seen on previous versions; specifically, new competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes. Tower Bloxx Deluxe will debut on October 21 for 800 ($10).

Check out some screens (of the PC version) in the gallery below and find a trailer after the break. You can also try out a simplified 2D version of the game right here.
