Xbox Live Activity - May 9

This being the first post, I shall explain what these mean. Basically, it's a table of the most played games on xbox live (i.e playing Alan Wake whilst signed in to xbox live). I hope to do stuff like this on a regular basis.
So here's a surprise - Black Ops is top again. *gobsmacked*. That over and done with, the Gears of War 3 Beta came 5th all in all. Not bad considering you had to either pre-order or buy Bulletstorm epic edition.
In XBLA, Gatling Gears had a solid debut at 6th, with portal at 4th place, despite being released 4 years ago. In indie games, The Impossible Game and I made a game with zombies maintain popularity at 2nd and 8th respectively. If you want the whole table, click here - courtesy of Major Nelson.

Black Ops First Strike Preview By Inside Xbox

With less then 3 days until the First Strike DLC is released for Black Ops, Inside Xbox talked with some Treyarch dudes (using fancy kinect video chat) about the new maps with gameplay garnished inbetween. Me personally, my favourite maps will have to be Discovery or Kowloon, due to the interactive enviroments.The First Strike DLC for Black Ops will launch on Xbox Live on February 1st for 1200 Microsoft points.

Black Ops First Strike DLC Achievements Released

Despite breaking records, Treyarch/Activision want more money in the pot, which this DLC will definitely bring. Treyarch have shown the achievements on CallOfDuty.com, all of which are exclusively to the new zombies map, Ascension. With 150 Gamerscore, the achievements are certainly...big. In terms of Gamerscore points and difficulty, but they do offer variety, whilst awarding you for using the maps features. And here they are...
The Eagle has Landers (35G)
In Ascension, escape on all three lunar landers.
They are going THROUGH! (35G)
In Ascension, kill 5 zombies with 1 Gersch device.
Space Race (45G)
In Ascension, pack-a-punch a weapon before round 8.
Chimp on the Barbie (35G)
In Ascension, kill a space monkey with a fire trap.

The First Strike map pack will launch on February 1st.
