While exact sales figures aren't available for Xbox Live Arcade games, you can try to estimate what probable sales might be. DICE's Battlefield 1943, a scaled-down version of its 2002 PC hit Battlefield 1942, became the fastest selling XBLA game, even performing the impressive feat of vaulting over the Xbox Live top 10 and landing at number five on the overall list, beating out games like Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV and Valve's Left 4 Dead.Ī+visual+representation+of+Battlefield+1943's+sales. Like last year, the most interesting content of the mid to late summer is available as a download. Or, if the weekly Xbox Live Top 10 figures are any indication, many choose to continue blasting away online in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Gears of War 2, and Halo 3. If somebody wants to put a disc into their Xbox 360, it's going to have to be something released at the start of the summer, say Arc System Works' BlazBlue, Yuke's UFC 2009 Undisputed or Volition's Red Faction: Guerrilla, even reaching back to Capcom's Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5. The Watchmen game, for which a retail release was just issued that combines parts 1 and 2, is about as exciting as reading a blank sheet of paper.

King of Fighters XII is a big disappointment with a frustratingly laggy online component. Joe: Rise of Cobra is a busted and boring version of Contra. You won't find many Xbox 360 owners overflowing with passion and enthusiasm for the recent retail game releases.
