What To Look For In Microsoft Xbox 360 Live

The first time I truly played a Microsoft Xbox 360 live game I was truly blown away. The game was Halo 2 and I was at a friend’s house. This was the Xbox 360 live game that the system was built for. It truly revolutionized and changed my gaming experience.

Why Was The Xbox 360 Live Game So Different?

I am by no means a hard core gamer, but I have been around the block so to speak. I have played MMO’s, been in guilds and clans, done the whole FPS on line thing, but I can honestly say the most fun I had was playing an Xbox 360 live game. It was not that the experience was really different than any of the other things; it was how the whole thing came together.

Microsoft Xbox 360 Live – Gold

The Gold service has many features that make it an great way to game online. The amount of Microsoft Xbox 360 Live games is unbelievable. Your online avatar is displayed to the world. Each account can set up a different “motto” which will be displayed to other gamers online. In addition your account will keep a record of you achievements that you earn during game play. You can also link this back to your Facebook account so that people will see updates of your achievements. Each account has a unique username that is also displayed to all the other gamers. As you play more and more you build up a reputation. If players like playing with you they can vote on you in a positive light. As this builds up you will find it easier and easier to get games. In addition, it will become easier to avoid bad players or players with a bad attitude.

The next thing I noticed about the Xbox 360 live game was that you had to use a headset to play. This was absolutely a god send as every on my team was able to communicate and strategize. This made the games extremely intense and strategy was very important. I also like the fact that you could talk smack before and after the matches with the other team.

These are only some of the features available with Xbox 360 live. There is improved chat integration, as well as integration with many Microsoft products including messenger and other chat and video programs. Check it out today.
