Black Ops, Age of Empires Online, others top Xbox Live activity charts for 2011

Microsoft has released a list of the most popular titles on Xbox services for 2011, and Black Ops was the number one title for the year on Live, based on unique users.

Other titles which proved rather popular were Pinball FX2, which topped the Arcade list, and FortressCraft Chapter 1 was the most popular Indie title of the year.

Age of Empires Online seemed to resonate the most with Windows Live users, and Windows Phone 7 owners were crazy about Angry Birds.

You can view each list below, courtesy of Major Nelson. Each one is based on global unique users connected to Xbox Live, or as in the case of Arcade and Indie Games, full versions purchased during 2011.
