Major Nelson, the individual now synonymous with Xbox and Xbox LIVE, has a special note for everybody:
“Ok, you can stop finding things to keep you busy:LIVE is back. I am happy to report that the Xbox Live Maintenance is now complete which means that Xbox LIVE is back online, and you can now resume posting in the Xbox forums. Thanks again for your patience during this maintenance.”
In honour of LIVE going live again, he has also released the LIVE activity ratings, which is a handy way of knowing just what games are being played on the service and what’s proving to be popular in the world of online Xbox gaming. This week? Halo 3, in its long, hard-fought battle for supremacy against the equally outstanding Call of Duty 4, has proven itself victorious, ending up at No. 1 this week. Next week though? Who knows.
