There’s “No Russian” Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 off the top spot on the UK sales charts. Infinity Ward’s mega-hit is killin’ terrorists, civilians and retail at a solid tick, despite the seven percent sales drop from the prior week. The FPS has held the high ground for four weeks now, repelling solid competition from the footie fantasies of FIFA 10 and the hidden blades of Assassin’s Creed 2.
Call of Duty: World at War maintained the number one position on the charts last year for five weeks, before FIFA 09 rushed the goal and scored the top spot during Christmas week. Thanks to retail promotions, game of the year candidate Batman: Arkham Asylum sales surged 122 percent, bringing the Dark Knight back onto the chart in the twenty spot.

Seriously, guys? Everyone on the planet runs out and buys Modern Warfare 2 and you’re still playing Call of Duty 4 and World at War? We can understand you folks who chose to play Halo 3 — the whole Modern Warfare 2 experience may not be your idea of a good time — but Major Nelson’s Xbox Live activity chart for the week of November 9 simply vexes us.
In less puzzling news, the XBLA activity is along the lines of something we’re used to seeing. Trials HD remains atop the list, followed by Castle Crashers and South Park Let’s Go Tower Defense Play. Konami’s Zombie Apocalypse also managed to survive the gauntlet and make its way onto the list and, combined with the recent release of Left 4 Dead 2, we feel mankind is finally starting to reach acceptable levels of preparation for the inevitable future of a world plagued by the undead.

Remember the report that said the average Call of Duty: World at War player has spent $9 on DLC? It looks like that number is about to get just a bit higher, as Major Nelson has announced that all of the World at War map packs have been reduced to 400
($5). That’s half of the usual $10 price tag. Taking all three packs together, that’s 12 maps for $15, putting them at a buck and a quarter each. Not bad. If you want to snag ‘em on the cheap, you have until November 1.
Sure, it’s probably just a cash grab before Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 makes everyone forget World at War, but hey, it’s hard to argue with cheap. Browse the available World at War DLC right here.

Major Nelson has revealed the latest figures for Xbox Live activity, which once again sees Call of Duty: World at War being the most played Xbox 360 Live title. That’s not to say it’s all business as usual, as the Lost Planet 2 co-op demo managed to claw its way onto the list, along with a new Xbox Live Arcade pair, Shadow Complex and Trials HD.
Both titles made it onto the top two spots on XBLA’s most played list, with Chair’s Metroid-inspired adventure making its debut in first place. The remainder is comprised of usual suspects Battlefield 1943, Marvel vs Capcom 2 and ‘Splosion Man.

Guys, do you ever play anything aside from four games? Major Nelson reports that last week’s Xbox Live activity was very much the same as the week before … and the week before that. Taking top spot was none other than Call of Duty: World at War, followed by usual suspects Halo 3, Call of Duty 4 and Gears of War 2. Madden 10 took last place, which isn’t much of a surprise considering it released on Friday. Come next week, we’re sure you’ll be hearing more about that one.
On the XBLA side, it was all about Trials HD, as the title earned top honors. Turtles in Time Re-Shelled managed to shell shock the competition by taking second and DICE’s Battlefield 1943 continues its sad story of decline, falling to third. Well, okay — maybe it’s not a sad story, per se.

Major Nelson’s latest battle report comes as a bit of a surprise as Halo 3 was the most-played retail game of last week. With all of the new Gears of War 2 content, we were sure that game would be at the top, but Epic’s title only managed to claw its way to fourth place yet again. It was bested by the usual double dose of Call of Duty action in Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty: World at War.
On the XBLA side, the frenetic tag-based combat of Marvel vs Capcom 2 was too much for the competition. Capcom’s brawler enjoyed top placement, finally bumping down Battlefield 1943 to second place. Coming in at third was none other than ‘Splosion Man, Twisted Pixel’s excellent follow-up to previous Arcade hit, The Maw.

Sure, we could sit up here and do our usual Xbox Live Top 10 thing: Major Nelson posted the Xbox Live activity for last week. Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty: World at War and Gears of War 2 were winners, and XBLA’s most-played game was Battlefield 1943. All is as we expect with the world. However, we feel the Xbox Live Top 10 has a much more notable characteristic this week: 1 vs 100!
Major confirms that Xbox Live’s game show will now be incorporated into the weekly lists. We’re anxious to see if it will perform better in the future — not that seventh place is a bad debut.

Xbox Live sure can, Master Chief, as your game Halo 3 was once again the most played title on Xbox Live. For the week ending June 29, many gamers took to the floating rings in space for some first-person combat, knocking down the duo of Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty 4 to second and third place, respectively. The rest of the list posted by Major Nelson is pretty run-of-the-mill, save for what came in last place: Rock Band 2. We can’t remember the last time Rock Band 2 populated this list. So, good for you, little game-that-could!
On the XBLA side, it’s all about the Worms 2. Explosive sheep were quite the draw, as the sequel to Team17’s fragfest managed to beat out another popular XBLA title, Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalker. We guess Magic: The Gathering is all tapped out. Get it? Hello? Where are you going?

And the mighty Xbox Live tug-of-war continues this week as Major Nelson reports that Halo 3 has once again wrangled the top spot from Call of Duty: World at War. We’d like to say there were some other — more interesting — changes this week, but the rest of the list remains almost completely unchanged. The only other difference is that Fallout 3 replaced Prototype at ninth place, knocking the latter to tenth.
Don’t worry, though, we’ve got a new Halo game and a new Call of Duty game on the way in just a few months. Then we can at least see different iterations of the same series occupying the top two slots. That’s something to look forward to, right?
