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.

Okay, so headshot might be too strong a word here, but Modern Warfare 2 has certainly wounded Xbox Live Arcade activity, as GamerBytes reports that top Arcade titles have seen a massive reduction in leaderboard activity since the release of Infinity Ward’s latest blockbuster. Specifically, Trials HD — long the reigning XBLA champion — saw its leaderboard numbers drop from 14,890 players on the week of November 2 to 8,942 the week of November 9, about a 40 percent loss. Meanwhile, other titles including South Park, Zombie Apocalypse and Tower Bloxx Deluxe saw their leaderboards almost halved. Castle Crashers, curiously, only saw its numbers drop from 8,395 players to 6,034, a reduction of only 28 percent.
Still, it’s pretty clear that Modern Warfare 2 has pulled a lot of gamers away from the more casual fare on XBLA. Either that, or lots of hardcore Call of Duty fans unceremoniously yanked the controllers from their more casually-oriented significant others.

While our Live Top 10 posts are usually reserved for the endless slap fight between the Halo and Call of Duty franchises — Halo 3 remains on top, if you must know — our attention was drawn directly to Xbox Live Arcade this week. Major Nelson reports that South Park: Let’s Go Tower Defense Play rests at the top of the most purchased XBLA games for the week, while Lucidity — which debuted the same week to mixed reviews — failed to make the top ten at all. It’s not a direct measurement of the title’s early success, but it certainly doesn’t bode well for LucasArts’ original puzzle platformer.
Based on the apparent success of South Park we have a suggestion for Lucidity 2: More cursing.

Two pleasantly surprising games on Xbox Live Arcade this week. First, there’s South Park: Let’s Go Tower Defense Play!, which is a tower defense game based on South Park, of all things. Then there’s Lucidity, an original puzzle platform game from LucasArts. After taking a quick jaunt through the trial versions of both games, we’re pleased to say that both of them are quite enjoyable. See what you’re in for in the latest XBLA in Brief, and then decide if either game deserves your 800
($10).

Major Nelson has announced that the two games gracing Xbox Live Arcade this week will be Lucidity and South Park LET’S GO TOWER DEFENSE PLAY. The first is a puzzle platformer from LucasArts with a positively delightful art style, while the second … well it’s pretty self explanatory. It’s a tower defense game set against the backdrop of the famous, quiet little mountain town. Both can be yours in exchange for 800 ($10).

Update: Above, we’ve added our own footage form the Comic-Con show floor!
Whatever you’ve been doing for the past 15 minutes, we promise you it’s been more productive than us. See, we’ve been trying to make heads or tails of UGO’s gameplay footage for South Park Let’s Go Tower Defense Play! you’ll find after the break.
It looks sort of like a typical tower defense game, except the kids seem to be building the towers themselves. Also, they’re sort of like mobile towers of their own, and it seems that several people are playing cooperatively. It’s all very puzzling, but at least it can’t be worse than Chef’s Luv Shack.
