How to Play Xbox Live games on your windows phone

Tweet

If you are a fan of the smartphone, then you must have heard of the Windows Phone. This is actually an operating system created by Microsoft and is basically a sequel to their Windows Mobile platform. The best thing about this smartphone is that it is created specifically for users such as yourself who like their phones technical and easy to use at the same time. They also created a user interface via a design language called Metro that has little to no negative effect on the hardware which operates it. This makes this phone ideal for gaming! Yes, you read right! What if you knew you can actually play Xbox Live games on it? You can download all of them from the Windows Phone Marketplace. How To View Your Profile You can also take a look at your Xbox LIVE gamer profile, your friends’ profiles, messages and even customise your avatar using on your Windows Phone by following the given steps: Tap ‘Games’ on your Windows Phone. Flick to the left until you find your avatar and then select gamertag. Go left to have a look at your friends, accomplishments and any messages you may have. How to Invite Friends for a Game If the Xbox game that you have requires a second player to play it, then you can also invite other players (like your friends) to play with you via their own consoles or Windows Phones. This feature is particularly useful for turn based games in which players have to play one by one and when you have no idea when your turn will come. So, to avoid a panic attack, invite your friends by: Tap the ‘Games’ option on your Windows Phone. Select the game you’re interested in. Tap the multi-player option if the game requires more than one player. Read and follow the on-screen instructions which will allow you to invite your friends from the contact list or email addresses saved in your smartphone. As soon as you complete this procedure, your friends will receive your game invite through their own Windows Phones. This will also include instructions telling them how to join in on the game via their smartphones or online.  *** A guest post from Toni Atkinson
