Activision owns Redbox's top-rented games of 2011


The people behind the DVD and game rental kiosk Redbox shared what its top-rented games of 2011 were. Oh, and in case you were wondering, Modern Warfare 3 placed..twice, taking the top spot of the list with the Xbox 360 version, and then rounding out the top five by taking fifth with the PlayStation 3 version.

I was quite pleased to see that Techland's Dead Island ranked so high, as even with its faults, it is still a blast to play, and hopefully the rentals contributed to a few more sales. 

Activision also placed a few more times, with Transformers: Dark of the Moon in tenth place, and 2010's Call of Duty: Black Ops in ninth. Oddities--lack of Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham City, and Just Dance 3. Oh, wait, that took second.
