Microsoft's Major Nelson has released lists of the top 20 Xbox 360, Xbox Live Arcade and Xbox titles for 2006 in terms of their popularity on Xbox Live. While there are a few surprises (hello, UNO), it’s mostly a who’s who of the titles you know and probably love. Titles are ranked by the number of unique Gamertags that have played each particular game. (Arcade titles can be purchased under one account and played with multiple others, however, so their rankings may not accurately reflect popularity.)
