  • Gamefly Charts: Wanted Weapons of Fate is Most Wanted

    Gamefly Top Queued!

    Some would argue that the Gamefly 'most queued' should be taken with a grain of salt.  Generally, it is apparent that the Xbox 360 is the most common rental platform that absolutely skews the results.  In addition, one could argue that a title that appears near the top of the list is there because it is worth a rental versus a purchase.  With that being said, it is still a decent gauge on the level of interest for a particular game.

    For the week of March 31, 2009, the recently released Wanted: Weapons of Fate (PS3, Xbox 360) takes the top spot on the cross-platform Gamefly Top Ten 'Most Queued' list.  Following close behind is Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Xbox 360).  Once again, MadWorld is at the top of the Nintendo Wii Queue as well...
