Xbox Live Activity for week of April 27th

Another week at the top for Halo 3. Ever since Mythic Map Pack dropped, Halo 3 has held the number one spot. Some notable members on the list include UFC demo moving up as well as Bionic Commando demo making an appearance. This is the first time in awhile that no music game is in the top 10. Perhaps the fad has finally passed.

Xbox Live Banhammer Coming to Gears 2 Cheaters as Reset-hammer

banhammer

XBL has been pretty clear that they don’t like cheating. For some reason, people are still so hard for achievements that they risk being reset to zero for a few gamerscore points for the hard to get milestones. Major Nelson dropped some knowledge on us recently about the upcoming beat down:

Deliberate cheats like these are in direct violation of the Xbox LIVE Terms of Use and will not be tolerated. As I post this, we’ve begun taking steps to reset the Gamerscores of the offending players.

I could see if you had to cheat on your Spanish quiz because you didn’t study or cheat at strip poker to get some girls topless, but cheating at gamerscore? Making us all look bad there d-bag.

The more things change, the more things stay the same. Halo 3 remains the top dog on the Live charts for third consecutive week. Love it or Hate it, people still play the shit out of Halo 3.  Big ups to the awesome UFC demo for making an appearance. If the full version is as good as I think it will be, expect UFC to make a lot of noise.

Halo 3 remains the top dog in Xbox 360 land marking to straight weeks on top. There is little else that has changed with the CoD dynamic duo in 2nd and 3rd place. People are still playing a ton of RE5 despite mixed feelings.

Just call me Negrodamus. Halo 3 regains the top spot in the XBL charts this week with the release of the Mythic Map Pack. Yes, I called this. CoD: WaW was knocked back to number 2. Let’s see how long they can hold the prize.

Xbox 360 System Update Available

The next time you sign into Xbox Live, you are going to have to download the latest system update. There is nothing new here, just some behind the scenes work on fixing some connection issues to a few games. It’ll take all of 5 minutes. Its mandatory, so this is more of a heads up than anything.

Xbox Live Activity for week of March 23rd

No changes of note this week as CoD:WaW holds onto the top spot as its Map Pack 1 sold a million copies in a week. Its only a week until Mythic Map Pack drops on us, so expect a possible coup in 2 weeks on the charts.

We have a new winner this week breaking Halo 3’s mini-streak on top. Logic would tell you that this has to do with the new map pack just released for CoD: WaW.  Expect Halo 3 to resume its top spot when Mythic drops on us April 9. Resident Evil 5 has also moved up several spots as well. What happened to Rock Band?
