It looks like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is back on top and they might stay there a while this time. I have a feeling the that the top 5 list will not change much until we get deep into September. I am slightly surprised with the popularity of Bionic Commando: Rearmed on the Arcade. While it’s a cool game, I still feel like the PS3 version is superior (due to the better d-pad). Perhaps when we get our hands on the new 360 controllers, my opinion will change on that.

Xbox 360 Top Live Titles (based on unique users)

1. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
2. Halo 3
3. Grand Theft Auto IV
4. Gears of War
5. Madden NFL 09

If you’re looking for some old school flavor with some new packaging, then Bionic Commando: Rearmed is your present.  This week the PlayStation Network is “choc full of goodies.”  There’s also Street Fighter Alpha, which should keep you tamed until Street Fighter IV.

My 60gb PS3 is running a little low on disk space, but I NEED those playable demo’s!  Tiger Woods ‘09 and BC: Rearmed are in my cart as we speak.

It looks like the only games brave enough to come out and play with reviewers pre-release this week are Bangai-O Spirits (DS) and Baseball Mogul 2009 (PC). That shouldn’t be taken as a knock, though, on the new Madden or Capcom’s 8-bit remake of Bionic Commando which saw Hitler’s head blowing up at the game’s end. Madden NFL 09 looks like its been shaping up nicely (the collector’s edition includes Madden ‘93 with updated rosters!) and the latter even has some people saying the pricing for it might be “too cheap.”

Gamers should take note on one game in particular this week: Fable II Pub Games. The game will be released on XBLA on Wednesday for 800 pts. ($10), but know that for a $5 pre-order on Fable II at your local games retailer lands you the game for FREE. Kezins just saved you five bucks! We give you permission to spend those extra points on new songs for Rock Band…

Capcom confirms Bionic Commando: Rearmed coming to North America XBLA August 13th and PSN August 14.

Well it’s official folks. Capcom has just confirmed that Bionic Commando Rearmed has release dates.  Xbox 360 user’s will get it a day earlier on August 13th for 800 points.  The next day the unfortunate PSN gamers will get BC: Rearmed on August 14th for $10.00.

Bionic Commando Rearmed is one of the best digital games you will ever play. Believe me, you’re more than going to get your money’s worth out of this particular title. I’ve been playing around with it for months now, but I’ve been putting off spending too much time with it for two reasons: a) I want the Achiements (sad, but true) and b) I want to play the full game, start to finish. We’re very happy to officially let you guys know that in North America (for sure) you’ll be able to get your own Bionic Commando on Wednesday, August 13 (Xbox LIVE Arcade, 800 points) and/or Thursday, August 14 (PlayStation Network, $10 ). W00t!

Via Capcom-Unity through Kotaku
