Halo 3 still Number 1 on Xbox Live

By Nick De Bruyne

Halo3.jpg Just yesterday, we posted a head to head between Gears of War 2 and Halo 3 from IGN that asked the question of which one of the two huge Xbox 360 exclusives was the absolute must-have for the system. For anyone who missed it and doesn't feel like going back to watch the video, Halo 3 won. Many will argue that Gears of War 2 is the better game but the latest statistics from Xbox Live are saying quite the opposite. While the full list is posted after the jump, let me lay things out for you. Firstly, this list shows what people have been playing while connected to Live, not how many people were playing the games multiplayer modes on Xbox Live so make a note of that. The results, especially after this recent gaming season, are astounding. Ok , so here is the list: Halo 3 Gear of War 2 CoD: World at War GTA IV Fable II Left 4 Dead Madden NFL 09 Fallout 3 FIFA 09 Now here is the amazing thing, even though we have just been through arguably the best gaming release season of all time, the hugely popular multiplayer modes found in both Gears of War 2 and even Call of Duty: World at War could not take the number 1 spot from the (already over a year old) phenomenon that is Halo 3. That means that even though there was a large number of people playing Call of Duty and Gears of War's single player campaign as well as multiplayer modes (including the incredibly addictive Gears of War 2 semi co-op experience, Horde), Halo 3 still took the top spot with what can now only be people who are still playing the multiplayer. While South Africans never really caught on to Halo 3 like the Americans did, we have to appreciate that Bungie must have done something very right to still have the top spot over all this time. Call of Duty 4 is sitting just below Call of Duty: World at War, meaning that while there are still a lot of players who prefer last years offering, World at War is still making quite an impact on the world, regardless of the fact that Treyarch were at the helm. Just seeing this is almost making me want to go back and play some more Halo 3 multiplayer just to try and see if I can see what all the fuss is about. Honorable mentions come in with Left 4 Dead which is proving to be a massively fun multiplayer experience as well as GTA IV considering it's age and even Fallout 3 considering that it doesn't have any multiplayer. I want to make a mention of Fable II as well although I think that if it's co-op multiplayer had been better, it might have made more of an impact.

What were the top games at Leipzig '08

By Nick De Bruyne

This years convention at Leipzig brought forth a ton of new content for us to check out and also showed off a lot of games that we can all be looking forward to in the future. It must be said that Sony definitely cleaned up this time around and had a very strong showing. So then, what were the best games shown at Leipzig this year? Eurogamer have posted up a full list of what games they thought were the best in each category and also included runner-ups.... Best Single Player Game: Heavy Rain I still don't entirely know if this game it going to deliver on what is being promised by the developers but I do still think that the game has massive potential and could prove me incredibly wrong. The fact that the developers of Heavy Rain were responsible for some very good and under-appreciated games, namely Fahrenheit (Project Ego) and Omikron make me definitely want to give them the benefit of the doubt. Runners-Up Dead Space Fallout 3 Mirror's Edge Resident Evil 5 Best Multiplayer Game: LittleBigPlanet This game is looking like a sure fire winner long before its even hit the shelves. So much hype and buzz is flying around about this game and I have had more than a handful of people tell me that they are looking to buy a Playstation 3 just to play this game. The combination of all the features that this game is offering means that both casual and hardcore games will be able to enjoy hours of fun and multiplayer and sharing goodness.... Runners-Up Left 4 Dead Warhammer Online Battlefield Heroes Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 Best new IP: LittleBigPlanet What more can I say.... Runners-Up Heavy Rain InFamous Mirror's Edge Spore Best Visual Impact: Heavy Rain There is no doubting that the visuals in this game are looking mind-blowing.... It's all looking super realistic and may be the first truly cinematic experience that we will see on a console. Runners-Up LittleBigPlanet MadWorld Mirror's Edge Prince of Persia Best Comeback: Street Fighter 4 With a great new look and visual style, Street Fighter returns for another go. I really respect that the developers, while switching over to some very smooth 3D graphics, have decided to keep the gameplay the same as the old 2D versions and only tweak and change a system that has been popular for an incredibly long amount of time.... Runners-Up Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts Operation Flashpoint 2 Diablo III Fallout 3 The line up is looking pretty good and Sony really seemed to bring as much as they could to the table this time around.
