In turn, Left 4 Dead dropped from seven to eight, followed by FIFA 09 and Street Fighter IV at nine and ten. With versus DLC headed to Resident Evil 5, it will be interesting to watch its Live performance in the coming weeks.Peggle, unsurprisingly, was the most purchased Xbox Live Arcade game of the week. You should try it. It's harmless, we promise.

    Just two weeks ago, we found out that Gears of War had accomplished the impossible by knocking Halo 2 off of the number one Live spot. That lead held for a second week, and now it has solidified itself into the top spot yet again, three weeks running. Rounding out the rest of the top ten is an interesting mix. Call of Duty 3 rests comfortably at number two, Small Arms is in third (very impressive for an arcade title), while Rainbow Six Vegas -- a game teeming with online features -- lands all the way down at number seven. Curiously, there are three demos in the top ten, and if the Lost Planet demo is any indication of its future popularity -- it's in fourth place -- Capcom looks to have a hit on its hands. Meanwhile, the rest of the list is filled in with staples Madden (#6), Call of Duty 2 (#9), and Oblivion (#10).Xbox 360 Titles for the week of 11/27:1 Gears of War2 Call Of Duty 33 Small Arms4 LOST PLANET OnlineDemo5 SUPERMAN DEMO6 Madden NFL 077 Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas8 Rainbow Six Vegas Multi Player Demo9 Call of Duty 210 OblivionSo, are you rocking any of these games, or are you one of the guys still playing Counter-Strike on the original Xbox?[Thanks, un1qu3 n3wy0rk]
