On Xbox 360 or PC, these can usually be sorted by global Leaderboards (ranking all users of a game) or friends Leaderboards (a ranking of the people on your friends list who play a game).
Just about all Xbox Live titles (regardless of platform) feature Leaderboards: online high score tables. You can then send Xbox Live messages to them through the Xbox Live Extras App (located in the gaming hub),, or on Xbox 360 consoles. Once you’ve created a Gamertag, you can send friend requests to your fellow Xbox Live users. This is your persistent profile that identifies you to everyone you meet online, friends or otherwise, and tracks your gaming accomplishments (Achievements). Whether you play games on the Xbox 360, PC (where Xbox Live is called Games for Windows Live), or Windows Phone, you’ll need to create a Gamertag. Head past the break for more Xbox Live primer plus our picks for the top five best Xbox Live games!īefore we discuss Leaderboards, allow me to explain Gamertags. On Windows Phone, the chief advantages of Xbox Live games (beyond increased marketplace visibility) are Leaderboards, Achievements, and occasional connectivity with Xbox 360 titles (which we’ll save for another article). Xbox Live titles on Windows Phone are basically the equivalent of XBLA games: high-profile downloadable games that (usually) undergo a rigorous certification process. Xbox Live debuted on the original Xbox console but really came into its own with the Xbox 360, where downloadable games are called Xbox Live Arcade games. Xbox Live is Microsoft’s multi-platform gaming brand/service. If you’re new to Windows Phone, the distinction between Xbox Live games and regular ones (usually called indie games here) might seem confusing.
