Raising Creatures on Xbox 360
Q: I really liked Oblivion, and Fable II was good, but I also like playing games online where you run farms and do stuff like raise and breed creatures, stuff like that. But I can't find any games like that for Xbox 360. – Kristina
A: A great game for raising and breeding creatures is the Viva Piñata series. It sort of has a reputation as a kids’ game because of the animated series, (and it is great fun for kids!) but it has enough variety and complexity for gamers of all ages. You start with a small plot of land and try to attract creatures to live there. Then you breed creatures, buy houses for them, and grow a garden. Bonus: it’s a Platinum Hit, available for about 20 bucks!
Up, Down, or Sideways?
Q: Do I keep the system on its side or standing up right? – D
A: You can keep your Xbox 360 either way—whichever works best for your entertainment center. Just don’t switch from horizontal to vertical (or vice-versa) while a disk is spinning in the tray.
Backward Compatibility
Q: I thought the Xbox 360 was backward compatible with Xbox-1 games? How do I get MechAssault for Xbox 360? – James
A: MechAssault is not one of our backward compatible titles, but MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf is, along with all these games. You can also find Original Xbox favorites –like Halo, Fable, and GTA: San Andreas on demand right here.

Why is the 360 so bleating loud? I try to sneak a game in after lights out, and sounds like a Sikorsky is prepping for flight.Anonymous
