Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Microsoft has released the charts for the most popular Xbox LIVE games for 2009, based on unique user connectivity. Bungie's Halo 3 managed to knock Call of Duty 4 out of the top spot, most likely thanks to ODST in September, making it the most popular game on Xbox LIVE in 2009. EA's Battlefield 1943 took the honours in the Arcade category, while I MAED A GAM3 W1TH ZOMB1ES!!!1 cruised into first place on the Indie Games side.
