Epic's shooter Gears of War is king of the Live heap of Xbox 360 games played in 2006, according to stats based on Xbox Live connectivity - and Xbox Live bloke Major Nelson's blog where last year's 20 most played 360 titles have been listed.
Data for the rankings list has been collected between January 1, 2006 and December 29, 2006, meaning GoW's ascension to the throne has been fast - and obviously, quite furious. Call of Duty 2, Ghost Recon 3, Project Gotham Racing 3 and Oblivion are games that feature high up the top 20 list, which you can see in full below:
