Xbox Live Activity for week of 4/28: GTA IV tops list

Addicted to Microsoft‘s excellent Xbox Live service? Then you might want to pay attention, as this particular update comes right from Major Nelson. Yes, it’s time once more to see what games are being played the most over at Xbox Live. Check out the entire list in the full article and see if your favorite game made it in its respective bracket, as well as how good Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) did.

 

Xbox Live’s Major Nelson is here once more to get us informed on what people are playing the most on Microsoft‘s very excellent online gaming scene, and the numbers are very telling as far as which game is most popular is concerned. So who made it to the top, beating Halo 3 and even Call of Duty 4 (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC)?

Why, none other than Rockstar’s very excellent Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3), of course – and when you consider that it pretty much beat out every other triple-A title on its bracket, the sandbox-roaming game has definitely been accepted by the players.

As for the other brackets, they had their own share of upsets, as well. Lost Cities, a game that recently debuted and earned top spot in the arcade titles ranking, is nowhere to be found this week – replaced instead by Brain Challenge, and followed by DOOM and UNO. As for the original Xbox, Halo 2 is still sitting pretty at the number one slot, with Battlefield 2: MC and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 close behind.

Here’s the complete list:
