Major Nelson posted quite a list tonight, showing off which games were the most played on Xbox Live. He was kind enough to break it up into three categories: 360 Retail, 360 Arcade, Original Xbox. Here's the top three from each:

Xbox 360 Top Live Titles

1. Halo 3
2. Call of Duty 4
3. GTA IV

Top Arcade Titles

1. Castle Crashers
2. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2
3. Braid

Original Xbox Top Live Titles

1. Halo 2
2. Fable
3. Star Wars: Battlfrnt 2

I would like to know what the most achieved achievement is...

I'm surprised Braid got #3. That's pretty impressive, I never would have thought it would have sold so many units at $15.

I find it sad that so many people bought overpriced 1200 point games. I was hoping no one would buy these and they're drop them to 800 soon, but based on these stats, it will never happen. Too many people with more money than sense, I guess.

So much money wasted on Castle Crashers. Sure would have been nice if that game actually worked.

Braid was worth every penny I spent on it. Castle Crashers would have been if it wasn't published broken.

I'm most surprised about Star Wars Battlefront 2 still being played so much. I can understand Halo 2 and Fable, but Battlefront 2 surprised me a lot.

Maybe they should be getting that sequel made, I think Free Radical was doing it but they are gone now. I wasn't sure it was a game in demand until now.

Braid I am sure is worth 15, and I did enjoy the demo, but I can hold out on it till they drop it to 10. Then ill get it for sure. It struck me as a 10 dollar title so I will wait. There is enough other stuff out there anyhow to tide me over.

I find it even sadder that people are willing to pay 160 points ($2) for one TV episode.

People still play their original xbox? I modded mine awhile ago so I didn't have to continue to hook up my SNES and NES every time I wanted to be nostalgic.
