Halo 3, Worms 2 dominate Xbox Live

For the week of June 29, 2009, Halo 3, Worms 2: Armageddon, Halo 2, and Kodu Game Lab were the top distraction on Xbox Live, based on games sold and unique users on Microsoft’s popular service. For the top Xbox 360 titles played for the week it was the usual suspects: Halo 3, Call of Duty: World at War, Call of duty 4, Gears of War 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV.

On the Arcade side of things, Xbox Live users seem to have fallen in love with the latest Worms game (which drove the first one up the charts last week, so no shock there), but are still very much in love with the new Magic The Gathering game and Castle Crashers. Castle Crashers just won’t fall out of the top five - The Behemoth said that they’ll be showing off their next game at Comic-Con. Original Xbox owners are still enamored with Halo 2 and Counter-Strike , while the Community Games are now being dominated by Microsoft’s handy dandy game building software for Xbox Live.

The full list of winners can be seen after the break.

Microsoft’s Kodu Game Lab released

Microsoft Research’s new game lab, Kodu Game Lab, launches on Xbox LIVE Community Games this week, giving game makers of all ages and skill levels the chance to bring their own game creations to Xbox 360. For just 400 MS Points, or $5, anyone can create and deploy a game.

Built using Microsoft’s XNA Games Studio, Kodu Game Lab is a pick-up-and-create toolset where you create a game using a simple image-based creator menu and 200 different programming features to build and share games with anyone on your Friends List.

In addition to a simple image-based user menu, Kodu Game Lab enables game creation using only an Xbox 360 controller. It also comes equipped with a bridge and path builder, a terrain editor to build unique environments, co-op gameplay for up to four players and 20 different characters with a range of abilities.

The Games That Time Forgot


The games we're pulling together in this feature won't appear on any of those best-of lists and get confused looks when you mention them in conversation. Just because time has forgotten these titles, though, doesn't mean you should forget them, too.
