Most Played XBLA Games of Q3 2009

Q3 has been an interesting quarter. There hasn’t really been any blockbuster titles (with the exception of Madden 10) so we’ve been playing what we got and XBLA games. I already wrote on the most played 360 games in the past year so now I’m focusing on our favorite console network, XBLA. These are the top 8 played XBLA games per gamer in Q3 so far.

8.
TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled – 1.2 hours per player

This classic pretty much only takes 1 hour to beat with a good team. Just like the original – without the quarters.

7.
‘Splosion Man – 3.0 hours per player

Blow stuff up. Fun for everyone and apparently enough fun for 3 hours.

6.
The Secret of Monkey Island – 3.3 hours per player

3.3 hours per player. That could mean one of  two things – either you played the original and remembered where everything was, or you played it for 3 hours and then gave up.

5.
Trials HD – 3.6 hours per player

Racing! Lots of levels! User generated content! This game has only been out a few days and it makes the list – chances are it’ll get higher in the coming days.

4.
Worms 2: Armageddon – 4.1 hours per player

Another classic. Everyone likes to kill worms with weapons from dynamite to exploding super sheep. Fun and competitive multiplayer keeps this one on the list.

3.
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 – 4.2 hours per player

This remake runs flawlessly and holds true to the original. Replay-ability comes with the multiplayer.

2.
Magic the Gathering: Duel of the Planeswalkers – 7.0 hours per player

Slightly surprising to see this game up here. I guess because the gameplay is simple and keeps true to the original. Also, players want to unlock all the cards in each deck.

1.
Battlefield 1943 – 8.8 hours per player

This one is not surprising. Battlefield on the 360 for cheap? That’s a winner right there.

That’s it for the list. Help contribute to the numbers by signing up for Raptr!
