Halo 3 has managed to fend off all of the pretenders on the Xbox LIVE Activity ranking this week to remain the No. 1 most played game on Xbox LIVE this past week.

Not much has changed in top five line-up, though, as Halo 3 is followed by Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty 4, Gears of War 2 and GTA IV taking the place of Resident Evil 5.

OutRun Online Arcade is the best selling Xbox LIVE Arcade title this week, with the combined sales of Hasbro Family Game Night having to settle for second best, as Castle Crashers remains in the top three yet again.

The top three Community Games haven’t changed one iota, as RC-AirSim, Rumble Massage and Drumkit all keep their places from last week.

The full global list of top played Xbox Live games, original Xbox games and top selling XBLA and XNA Community Games follows below, all based on unique users and full versions purchased.
