Major Nelson has posted the LIVE Activity for the week of June 22nd, with a couple of changes from the previous week, including a possible error on the Community Games list.

Though Rock Band 2 was able to pop it's head in on top played games last week, it has been bumped by Fallout 3 seeing it's way back on the charts thanks to the highly reviewed Point Lookout DLC

Magic: The Gathering manages to stay at the top of the arcade charts for another week.  Despite the lack of customized decks, the gameplay is still there, and is still fun.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix finds it's way back onto the charts with the recent drop in price for the week.

Unsure what the Top Community game was, I went on the community games section on the Xbox 360 to find that "OfferName" is not an actual game, so I believe the other game that should be on the list is most likely "Hangman's Revenge" or "Angry Barry" .. either way, it would be nice to see an actual game being offered rather than the random applications that still find their way on the top ten each week.

For the future, with Bungie Day coming up, I would expect to see Halo 3 sticking around the top of the charts for a couple of weeks more as gamers get their practice in to hopefully win Recon Armor.  However Call of Duty: World at War players will be treated to a Double XP weekend (July 3rd - July 6th), so we'll see these two giants duke it out for the week.

I would hope to see Red Faction make it's way onto the top ten, as their is a buzz about this game online that just does not seem to be going away anytime soon.

Worms 2: Armageddon will be released July 1st, we will see how many of the current fans will be picking this in favor of the original, which is a constant on the top ten games.
