Xbox Live activity for week of 8/13: Bioshock on the rise

While the last Xbox Live activity update yielded little change in the pecking order, this latest one from none other than Major Nelson himself gives out quite a lot, most notably the ascent of a certain FPS demo through the ranks of games most frequently played. What’s the game? I’ll give you three guesses, but I’m sure you’ll only be needing one. Yep, it’s Bioshock, and it’s sky-rocketing through the numbers like no one’s business. Without further adieu, let’s look at the stats, shall we?

For the Xbox 360 top Live titles, we have Gears of War holding on to the top spot, followed by none other than the demo of 2K Games‘ latest sci-fi horror shooter, Bioshock. It’s also to note that last update’s third spot has been vacated by Guitar Hero II, with the Stranglehold demo taking its place. Major upsets must be this update’s main flavor, it seems.

Big changes in the Top Arcade titles chart, too. While Track and Field has a deathgrip on Number 1, Hexic 2 and Ecco the Dolphin have usurped control of the Number Two and Three spots from their previous owners, respectively. Marathon Durandal, the grandpappy of Halo, is sitting comfortably on the fourth spot, though.

Last but not least, it’s the Original Xbox Top Live game list, and in contrast to the other lists, there’s no change here. Halo 2 is still the king of the hill, with Battlefield 2: MC at second and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 in third. Very nicely done for Halo 2, though, as it seems many players are still reliving Master Chief‘s previous adventure in preparation for the third.

Well, that’s it from us. And for your reading pleasure, here’s the complete ranking list.
