New Super Mario Bros. keeps kicking on retailer's best-seller chart; Table Tennis makes strong debut on Bestbuy.com's best-seller list.
When Rockstar Games announced it was making a Table Tennis game for the Xbox 360, many were skeptical. Some considered it a cynical move by the publisher to put an E-rated fig leaf over the mound of money generated by its M--and briefly AO--rated Grand Theft Auto series. Still others wondered why gamers would pick up a game based on a pastime that's already played indoors.
Well, the naysayers got paddled this week. According to retail figures from Bestbuy.com, Table Tennis was the seventh-most-popular console game in the US. It was one of six Xbox 360 games in the top 10, including Tom Clancy's Advanced Warfighter (third), Madden NFL 06 (eighth), and Call of Duty 2 (ninth). The regular and collector's editions of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the 360 were fifth and sixth. And though raw figures were not provided, it is likely that if sales of the two Oblivions were combined, it would have been the week's top-selling console title.
The two current-gen console games in the top 10 were number-10 Kingdom Hearts II for the PlayStation 2 and the surprising second-place finisher, Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix for the GameCube, which went back into print after a brief hiatus. The top prize, though, was another title starring Nintendo's iconic Italian plumber. DS favorite Super Mario Bros. was once again the week's top title, proving the popularity of both the venerable franchise and the portable platform. Further cementing the DS's status was the number-three game, Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day.

This week, I kick off a new format for the top live list. Moving forward, I’ll provide two lists: One top 10 list for Xbox 360 titles and a separate list for original Xbox games. Both lists are based on WW UU’s on Xbox Live. Sorry, but I can’t share specific numbers or other specifc data.
It seems many people are having issues when they are trying to boot their backup games with SS (Security Sector) files that they have downloaded.
I think we may have spotted the problem. let's take an example - Call of Duty 2.
We checked every single version of the ss.bin for COD2 NTSC/U and each and every one has the same MD5 884E8BA44329D133973289A0CD8C8374. However when checking the PAL version we found 3 different versions (so far !)
DF77CCA54F575225DF6C07DF459A8652, 510A6C63D95CB26B072D5C214D207DC8 and 2F66E72B3E3A2895AB883628749C778B
Call of Duty 2 fans, two new map packs are now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
The Skirmish Map Pack costs 400 Microsoft Points and is 127.03 MB in size. It contains two all-new multiplayer maps, which can be used for online, split-screen, and system-link play.
The first map is Kalach, Russia - a multi-level war zone with twisting passageways perfect for sniper attacks. The other map is Beaumont-Hague, France, which features open fields for rushes and clustered buildings for ambush manuevers.
If you're not in a Microsoft Point spending mood, try the Call of Duty 2: Bonus Map Pack. It's free and uses 124.78 MB. It contains Wallendar, Germany is perfect for squad-based combat, including hidden paths, rubble, high-cover areas. It's war torn cityscape embodies World War II urban warfare. And Vossenack, Germany challenges you with limited cover and varied terrain.
Man, I'm ready to spend some hard-earned Microsoft Points!
