As each year draws TorrentFreak its annual rankings on the most pirated video games over the past 12 months, taking into account the activity data collected on various online websites dedicated to torrents.
By far, the most downloaded game in 2010 Call of Duty: Black Ops with 4,270,000 downloads in total, an amount that is even more impressive when you consider that the game was released only in November this year and has therefore reached that share in only 2 months of online presence.
The remainder of the three rankings are based on PC, Xbox 360 and Wii and it is clear as the first platform is rampant in a significantly higher piracy, so even the fifth position on the PC (StarCraft II) was much higher than the top positions of Wii and Xbox 360, respectively, see Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Dante's Inferno at the top.
