Where to find a list of online games ordered by number of players?

Question

I'm tired of downloading games (demos and purchased ones) just to realize that the multiplayer mode sucks because it has few players or it just get stuck.

One case is Kane & Linch 2 demo and another one is Dogfighter demo. Both fail to deliver a good multiplayer experience, and I presume the full versions also suck.

I think that if I could have access to a list of games ordered by number of online players, I would only download/purchase the ones that work really well in the multiplayer mode.

There is such a list of "most played online games this month" website? Is it often updated?

Answer

The best list I've ever found comes from XFire (sort by rank).

Here's the current top 10 as of 9/7/2010

         Game                      |   per day
