As it turns out, the top two games played on Microsoft's popular online service weren't even launched in 2008. It's also interesting to note that nearly half the games are shooters, showing the predominance of this category on Xbox Live.&lt;br /&gt;Here's the top 20 list, based on unique users:&lt;br /&gt;1. Halo 3&lt;br /&gt;2. Call of Duty 4&lt;br /&gt;3. GTA IV&lt;br /&gt;4. Gears of War 2&lt;br /&gt;5. Gears of War&lt;br /&gt;6. CoD: World at War&lt;br /&gt;7. Guitar Hero III&lt;br /&gt;8.

Yes, Call of Duty 4 and Gears of War are also always on the list too, but you’re never going to find an empty multiplayer channel of Halo. Finding multiplayer competition for titles like Blacksite: Area 51, 007: From Russia With Love, The Outfit, or Fatal Inertia (just to name a few), is almost tougher to do than finding a Republican who doesn’t support the NRA. However, there’s never a shortage of players hounding Halo 2 and Halo 3, even if they aren’t actually playing. In fact, this conundrum extends beyond Xbox Live, and into other fields of online services for online console gaming.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4778681845268141400-6897605569274857316?l=halo3gamers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://halo3gamers.blogspot.com/2008/11/halo-2-and-halo-3.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Iceref)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778681845268141400.post-2447822957683089241</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-09T11:03:06.667-04:00</atom:updated><title>Halo 3 Recon</title><description>The official title of the expansion, which will be a prequel to Halo 3, is Halo 3: Recon. Kinda generic but a title like Halo 3: Watch Out, The Covenant Is Here would've been too on-the-nose. The expansion is due in Fall 2009, apparently, meaning that the earlier rumor that it would arrive this January was false. That's a long time to wait, but it does indicate that this could be a pretty sizable expansion.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4778681845268141400-2447822957683089241?l=halo3gamers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://halo3gamers.blogspot.com/2008/10/halo-3-recon.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Iceref)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778681845268141400.post-2975270982942970393</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Sep 2008 19:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-23T15:48:37.910-04:00</atom:updated><title>Halo 3</title><description>Bungie announced today that Title Update 2 has released for Halo 3.
