Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Peggle bounces its way into the top position as most downloaded arcade title, with Halo 3 fending off Call of Duty to take the place of most played game on Xbox Live for the week of March 9. Resident Evil 5 has had a great start, launching into sixth place, and I suspect will climb even higher in next week's charts.

Arcade newcomers Crystal Defenders and NCAA Basketball 09 both fared well in their launch week, making an impact on the arcade chart. A fair amount of stability is seen on the Community Games, with RC-AirSim still holding onto the title of most downloaded Community Game, with the arcade shooter, Tanks.V.S, being the only new entry in the top 10.
