South Africa's Favorite Xbox LIVE Arcade games!

X3G's "Top Xbox Games" list has been updated to now display a bit more information for the discerning South African Xbox gamers out there. Firstly, games have been sorted into two categories, "retail games" and "XBL Arcade games". We've also managed to generate two types of statistics for each type of game. These are "popular games over the last week" and "popular games overall", which should give you a good idea what South African Xbox gamers are busy playing and what they're buying in general.

Statistics are generated by looking at what games X3G members are playing, dumping that data into our database, mixing it up, sorting it out, baking it for 20 minutes and finally serving it to the public.

Hopefully this new information will help you make up your mind the next time you can't make up your mind about what game to buy next.

Who is "Stallion83"?

Stallion83 signed-up on X3G.co.za, instantly taking the 1st place on the gamerscore leaderboard. Who is he and why had so few South African Xbox LIVE gamers heard about him?

Well, he's this (American) guy who is really committed to getting 1 million gamerscore (see http://1milliongamerscore.com/). He recently signed-up on X3G, but had to be removed since he's a non-South African. At the time of writing this, Stallion83's gamerscore was sitting at a staggering 372885 points, all of which have been earned legitimately, without cheating or using any other shady techniques.

The current top South African gamer registered on X3G is SpaWnNiNja ZA who has a gamerscore of 109805.
